Finally I can get this bathroom done. I’ve had the project on hold because I needed a pro to do the walls. I can do very little with drywall, especially finishing, so I had to call in a pro. Short of slapping up some crudely cut pieces of drywall, I had no idea where to begin, especially around the window I put in.
The guy I hired, a family friend, did a wonderful job. In less than two weeks he accomplished what would have taken me months to do and he did it 100 times better. My biggest concern was around the window and the “shelf” inlet because I just couldn’t see how it could be done without a lot of work. He made it look easy! A few pieces of wood and the drywall fit right in. The finishing work looks excellent also. No bumps, no goofy drywall mud marks. I’m impressed.
Before:
After the drywall:
And after the first phase of finishing (taping):
And finally the finish:
Next step is the floor and finish the shower plumbing (test for leaks!).
Then, I can put the surround in, the toilet, sink, a vent fan, and finally take a shower after all these months! (that’s a joke)
