Dredging up a thread from two years ago, my home improvement saga continues
The whole front of the house and front yard looks completely different from 2 years ago. I had a perimeter drain/curtain drain installed so I don't have a lake under the cottage when it rains. The whole front yard was completely redone. I re-did the entire front of the house including replacing a rotted sill, re-framing, a new window, new roof, new cedar shingles & trim.
This February
Last summer
Last May
This winter, the big project was a complete do-over in the bathroom and gutting the guest bedroom. The framing in the cottage is all screwed up so as exterior walls get gutted, they get re-framed.
Architect plans for the building permit
2 months ago, guest bedroom
"before" in the guest bedroom
"before" in the bathroom
Radiant heat in the bathroom
3'x5' cast iron shower base
Toto wall mounted toilet
Shallow closet in the bathroom
Shelves in the newly redone guest bedroom
Grohe thermostat shower valves on both sides.
Bathroom shots from this week as the tile goes in. The skylight install requires stripping the roof so that goes last.

Some nice looking changes their Geoff!
Do the GC's for home improvement work down by Padanarum operate on the same time schedule for finishing a project as the boatyards do??

It's not the schedule, it's the budget. Like usual, I'm 100% over as the scope of the project kept increasing. This started out as a simple bathroom remodel.

South Dartmouth, Ma in the harbor village of Padanaram. I bought what should have been a tear-down in my home town to be my summer cottage. Over the last 3 winters, I've basically had the thing rebuilt in place. Still have the master bedroom to do for next winter.

I now have a functional bathroom.
I have a temporary shower curtain until the glass shower enclosure goes in.
You can also see the skylight isn't installed.
Medicine cabinet with electrical outlets inside
The vaulted ceiling
The shroud under the wall-hung sink

Lookin' Nice Geoff.....
I like the sink. Where did you get it?
Geoff

It's a Kohler Rêve. You can get it with the shroud like I did, with a pedestal, or with a wall-mounted vanity. They also make a vessel version of the sink. The faucet is a Kohler Purist which is what Kohler shows on their web site for that sink.
I bought the sink from an Amazon retailer called FaucetDirect.com. It showed up Freight at my door 4 business days after I ordered it from the Kohler Virginia warehouse. No tax. Free shipping. The faucet was also from Amazon.com.
The only item in the bathroom where Home Depot was competitive was the cast iron shower base. Plumbing supply houses came in 40% higher than the overall internet prices I actually paid.
You're pretty serious about getting clean eh Geoff? 2 Fixed Shower heads and a Retractable? :lol:

Looks to me like you could get really dirty in a shower like that! :wink:

Three weekends of yard work. Time to change over to sailing for the rest of the summer.
Awesome job, love watching home improvement. I struggled for hours this weekend with a stupid ceiling fan :roll:
