I was called about remodeling a bathroom and had no idea what I was getting into. Older house, massive copper pipes, 3 layers of sheetrock under the floor, busted up joists…extended the bathroom from 5×6 to 5×8 1/2
Tore out everything, extended the bathroom about 2 feet, reframed, sheetrocked, added a skylight, replaced all copper with PVC and Pex, add main pocket door, change mini closet to pocket door also…and of course tile.
Also built a shower pan, and shower with 2 niches, no kerdi or any of that fancy crapola.
New electric which included a sensor so when you walk in, the vanity lights come on and a new fan/light combo on seperate switches.
They were going to have someone come in to finish off trim, sanding and paint.

Wow – a lot of work. Is that a basement below or the main floor? Working older homes can be a real challenge, especially when dealing with plumbing issues. Trying to get a good run is almost impossible. Where did you hide the vent stack?
I like the river rock shower floor. It goes well with the tile. Nice finished product.

Main floor is under it, this is on the 2nd floor so trekking that stuff up there from the basement was a backbreaker.
The customer picked out everything except the 4×4 tiles and the mini pocket door for the closet. I always try to add some type of signature to every tile job. So threw that in with the 2 niches.
Venting and whatnot is actually tucked away in the short side wall there, it’s unused attic space. Not conventional but this space had some definite issues.
