Next, the bathroom

The tub had to be replaced due to rust, (and a hole that developed), which means everything around it had to be ripped out. 
Plumbing, tile, drywall, paint, light fixture, cabinet floor boards, and floor tile.
We re-drywalled the interior walls, and added the Schluter membrane for water proofing. It goes down onto thin-set, and adheres like wall paper. We had to swap out water valves, and new copper. New spouts, and shower head. Removing the old tub ( that is the same size as the studs, means you have to slide it out) we had to tear out drywall beyond the tub, which means we had to patch the base drywall.
We moved an outlet or two, and put in a new tub.   new mirrors, and a new vanity

My good friend John, and my daughter did most of the dirty work. It turned out pretty good!
