Last big home project. Adding a bathroom!

We have been planning and dreaming about this day since we bought our house but, knew it would be quite the project! We got a quote in early June. they quoted us $31,000!! so we decided to just do it our self's like everything else. We completed the whole thing for right around $7,000

Before...

The first task was to empty the old storage room this is just the food products.

DEMO!! 

Wall demoed, ready for the plumbers. you can see that bathroom lay out if you look at the black writing on the floor.

Next project talk out old nasty sink next to dryer.

Now its ready!

Since the basement had no plumbing for a bathroom it was quite the project getting a sewer line put in for it. Especially since it went straight out side under out bedroom so they had to dig up a lot of the basement to run it.

While they were at it we had them add a drain by the water heater and a new floor drain in the now storage room.

Lue supervised.

And cookie hid from the noise.

Quite the concrete pile!!

Thank you shamrock plumbing!

All done for the day!

Our old floor drain they said when they pulled it out it literally just fell apart.

Plumbing all done and bathtub installed.

The kids helped paint the storage room shelfs a better color since wood is so expensive right now we re-used the old ones.

Then had fun picking paint off them self's after.

Getting ready to fill in the holes from the new plumbing.

We started out mixing the cement inside then moved it out side because it was a huge mess.

Korbyn thought the pile was fun to play on.

We found kitty prints the next morning.

We walled in the bathroom/ storage room wall so i could get all my stuff  put back and realized that the main water shut off was in the no un accessible room. So we cut hole in the wall in our closet to we could access it if we needed to until we could get the rest done.

Kitty sleeping in the mess!

Cutting shelving to fit the new space.

All ready for stuff!

The pile just kept getting bigger!

Finally access to the bathroom from our room.

New roof....

and wall.

Time from a trip to the dump.

We were worried about the weight of the cement in the truck and at the dump. So i did some research and found out that you can fill your green garbage 1/4 of the way full with cement each week so we have been slowly getting rid of it each week. 

Tile time!!

Ready for pain! The red stuff is water seal so nothing can get the dry wall wet and ruin it.

Bathtub done just needing to dry. We had  neighbor help us with the tile because to have some one come do it would have been a 2 month wait. 

Floor!!

We found a vanity we really liked but it was white and the grey one was double the price and we already have alot of white in that bathroom so we painted it grey at gramma Cornies new place. The kids had fun with the box.

Grouted!!

We paid Shamrock to come back and do finishes for us like installing the toilet, shower head and faucet.

And i made a one Last run to Lowes or a mirror toilet paper holder and towel rack and Target to get towel's and rugs to finish off the look.

The last thing was to build me a closet since mine was compromised to gain access to the bathroom.

We used left over paint to paint the shelves so it all matches!

I'm so glad this project is done! it took longer then we would have hoped but the money we saved was worth it.
