We decided to remodel the house. This leg of the journey covers our efforts to convert our fourth bedroom to a new guest bathroom and a new master walk in closet. Tonight’s post covers the bathroom work. It started by ripping out the old closet area, recessing it into the 3rd bedroom and building two new walls. One to divide the room in half and one to provide privacy for the water closet.

Here are the two new walls with rough plumbing and drywall.

Here is the wall mounter granite top counter/sink I built on the dividing wall.

The next two photos are of the jacuzzi steam shower tub that I assembled and slid into the recess.

The final set of this post is looking back at the door, showing the recessed etagere, robe rack and towel bar.

Looking for ideas. http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/FlWoodRat/blog/4327 Hello fellow LJ’s. Wifey asked me to seek help (imagine that). Lucky for me she was refering to wood awning design and fabrication. If you have any knowledge of them, please comment. Thanks and have a great day.

I purchased six sheets from Dan this morning. He even threw in some small pieces of the same stock and about a half sheet of cherry.

He was easy to work with and provided exactly what he advertised. Have a great day.

By the way, if we aren’t supposed to post things like this let me know. Sometimes it hard for us hobbyists to find good materials.
