The Really Ugly Disgusting Bathroom Project (RUDB)
2016
As I've said before with our little fixer upper we knew there were tons of projects to be done, but we knew this RUDB was going to be the worst of all which is why we put it off until last. It was worth waiting for! We love it! All of this work on this project was done by Ken..I helped with the sanding, staining and varnishing of the shiplap, but nothing had to be subbed out. Took longer than having it done, but this was truly a labor of love. Our little piece of Heaven here in rural NV is complete (for now)...Next on the agenda is the Bunkhouse!

| This ugly vanity with the marlite walls...yukk |
 |
| The walls and ugly fluorescent light.. |
 |
| Vanity...gone |
 |
| In order to change out the toilet..major work had to be done.. |
 |
| This was looking in the door of the bathroom..before |
 |
| Yukky toilet gone |
 |
| New toilet in..and flooring started |
 |
| New floor... |
 |
| Picture needs to be rotated, but those are shelves and the shower stall.. |
 |
| Marlite coming off... |
 |
| Shelves opened up and some marlite coming off.. |
 |
| The disgusting shower... |
 |
| They nailed the shower stall up with roofing nails.. |
 |
| Horrible shower pan..no way could it be cleaned (believe me I tried) baked on yucky water... |
 |
| The wall to the kids closet is removed so we could add about 13inches to the vanity wall area.. |
 |
| Shower door gone..yukk |
 |
| Looking into the bathroom.. |
 |
| Looking better..shower ready to be gone. |
 |
| We saw there used to be a window and they had a tub at one time before they installed the shower... |
 |
| Removing the shower pan, we found there was not much under the floor to hold the shower pan intact..guess that's why it felt like you were going to fall through the floor! |
 |
| Framing the closet back in..giving us 13 inches in the bathroom |
 |
| Shower stall area |
 |
| Ken's got it opened up to fix it correctly.. |
 |
| Took out the old shelving which gave us room enough for a tub! |
 |
| Home Depot carried a 54 1/2 inch tub which fit just perfectly.. |
 |
| Enclosing the tub to get it ready for tile! |
 |
| The beginning of the tile job! |
 |
| One wall ready for grout! |
 |
| He removed the old exhaust fan so we could get one that runs out of the roof.. |
 |
| Wall 2 started..I'm loving it! |
 |
| 2 Done! |
 |
| Shiplap and tin on the one wall...The Shiplap we found in our garage attic! What a find, enough to do the bathroom and more! |
 |
| Grouted tile! He did an awesome job! |
 |
| Ken made this vanity for me..I didn't like any of the prefab vanities.. |
 |
| We found a couple pieces of tin, I aged it and love it! |
 |
| In progress with our new sink .. |
 |
| Shiplap and corrugated metal..I love the look! |
 |
| Shiplap and tin on the toilet wall... |
