AFTER Shower renovation-Woodland Heights
The glass block window and the corner shelves in the shower are a nice touch.
BEFORE Shower renovation-Woodland Heights
This circa 1950 bathroom had to be gutted (except the floor). The original tile had a perforated sheet metal backing (most older tile has this), and it rusted and became fragile causing the tile to crack in a number of places. This allowed moisture to get behind the tile, further weakening it.

Shower renovation
This circa 1940 shower had to be gutted because the pan leaked, a common problem for old showers. Water pooling under the pan can create a rather insanitary situation. The walls were built back with 3/4 plywood, 1/2 inch tilebacker, and then the tile. The new floor has 3/4 plywood, sloped foam board, a vinyl liner, floor mud, and finally tile.
November backsplash
This was completed around Thanksgiving of 2006. There are four diferent poppy flowers randomly scattered throughout the backsplash.
Fulton Hill bath renovation
This Fulton Hill bath was completed in Oct. 06. The house is circa 1910. I laid the floor, covered the walls with beaded plyboard, installed new trim, new sink, new toilet and tiled the tub surround. I also did the joint compound work and painting.
