Bathroom changes so far

I don't know where to start with the bathroom...it needed help, badly.  So after almost 2 years of not being able to use the shower/tub area we finally decided it was time to do something about it.  Plus it kinda helps when you want to sell your house to have a bathroom that will pass inspection or actually get people in the door to look at it.  Or really because we were sick of going downstairs to shower all the time.

So we started with a little demo of the shower and saved the tub

Then there was time for some insulation and plastic wrap and even some concrete board and green board going up.

After a small trip to Chicago we completed the drywall process and were so happy to see 3 complete walls again.

Then it was time to pick out the tile and make this a real shower once again, but first everyone had to sign the wall!



After the wall was signed it really needed some tile.

And now on to grouting and mudding the green board before painting.
