The exterior of our building, The Peppertree
New pot light in shower! Yay!!
2 new potlights in the bathroom.
New light switch and Junction box for sconce in hallway.
New junction boxes for the new sconces for the bathroom
New bathroom fan. This thing is so overkill. It sucks up almost 3 times more air than is required for a room this size. But it's pretty quiet.
This is our new hallway light.
It really brightens the hallway nicely
I tore out the old closet. It was ugly and falling apart.
old closet doors, waiting to be dumped

Patched up wall... this one was beaten to hell
smooooothed out
Closet...in a box!

My fat ass sanding the wall. I will be working on the spare tire soon.
Entercom and breakerbox. I wish I could replace the phone with a white one :(
Sanded
Our new doors! you can't see it, cus there's paper over it, but that middle part is glass. It's sandblasted though, not clear.
This is our closet now. Well, minus clothes of course.
The new door to the bathroom. The hall is looking sexier too.
Plumbing wall. Those studs are 10 inches apart
Hey look!! Mold! The drywall was still wet and mushy. It smelled like a forest.
back wall.
The old tile. A lot of them came up like this. Intact and with no Mastic left on them (they were not adhered with thinset)
That grey tile is 12x24 and it will go on the floor. the white tile is 4x16 and it's for the shower. the green tile is multi-shade glass tile used for accents in the shower and as a backsplash for the vanity
Lots of insulation. We only needed one piece, but we had to buy all this.
Yes, that's drywall. It's ok, cus we're putting Kerdi over it and you're supposed to use regular drywall under kerdi.
That orange stuff there is Kerdi. it's a waterproof membrane that goes over top of the drywall. It's awesome.
Tiles are going in!
That's the new spout. very sexy. That empty part on the bottom left still needs to be covered and tiled.
Progress
Getting down and dirty with the thinset and tiles.
The last tile. Sort of. I still need to cut narrow strips of tile for that part near the ceiling.
It's in!
Next stop: grouting
This is our new bathroom sink
This is the faucet that will go on our new sink
sexy tile on backsplash.
backsplash has been tiled. The mirror will be glued to that plywood.
