Bathroom Remodel by http://www.familyguyscarpentry.com This project was for a couple, like the rest of us who work hard, suffered from a sore back at the end of a hard day. The house had a very small bathroom with a window that use to look outside but later a garage was added to that side of the house and the window now looked into the garage. The bath was 55â long and was partially buried in the framework of both end walls. This posed a significant problem as the customer strongly desired a jet tub that had a minimum length of 60âÂÂ. All wiring was out of date, there was no exhaust to the outside from inside the washroom, and outlets were in odd locations and were not GFCI. There was a small light and a under sized toilet and overall the washroom was displeasing and uncomfortable. Keeping the overall layout of the bathroom the same and just tweaking some placements of the fixtures we were able to keep the bathroom familiar yet provide a modern efficient feel and look to it. The bathroom had a number of problems that were inherited from a different time and mindset. Under the sink was an electric baseboard heater that was replaced with in-floor heating on a thermostat. The outlet that was near the ceiling at the rear of the toilet and the light switch on the outside of the bathroom was removed and a GFCI outlet was installed beside a light switch on the inside of the bathroom beside the door. A ceiling fan, to aid in exhausting moisture, was installed with ductwork to the exterior of the house.
