So, for about 6 weeks now, I have a finished bathroom. It started with a 4 A.M water leak from the toilet supply line and took just over 2 months and about $4300. Bad news is it wiped out the G-body budget and has dwindled my interest in the car.
The day we moved in (Aug 2003):
Before the renovation
During the work, I had to replaced some rotted floor boards under the toilet that was not related to the gushing supply line mentioned above. What a leaking tank to bowl seal and a leaking wax ring can do. Decided to add some cross members while it was opened up for more support.
The toilet flange was broke on the sides, so a repair ring was needed:
After the toilet, then under the sink. After removing all the loose fill insulation, discovered yet another leak.
Sharkbite fittings save the day. Also note the galvanized drain piper threaded to copper. The was cut out and changed to PVC. I should have taken a picture of that pipe. Almost completely clogged shut.
The tub right after the moldy portion of the drywall (and the plaster underneath) was replaced and before the new shower surround (that work was hired out, along with the tub refinish)
and the shower/tub completed
The ugly wall paper over the plaster. There was drywall over this that I removed (3/8") that needed extensive patch work. I replaced it with 1/2" purple board instead.
The floor. Almost done (another hired out task). It looks like tile, but it's not!!
And the final product
The air admittance valve under the sink. Works so much better with some venting.
And now, I get to hear comments and questions.

It used to have those stupid glass doors as well until my 10 year old slipped and cut her leg up pretty bad on the track a couple days after we moved in.
