Well this is it finally! Our basement bathroom is back. So nice to have a third bathroom again. When we first moved into the house there was nothing there, just a floor drain and a the toilet drain roughed in. Wide open unfinished basement. We then put together a bathroom with Deanna's Dads' help, and then hired out to get the rest done. But it wasn't perfect, more functional than anything. Good enough at the time.
After redoing the two upstairs bathrooms we decided to tackle this one next. We completely gutted it except for the ceiling, doors, and the two walls that were framed in.
We then tiled the new shower (including a bench to sit while shaving legs and a recessed shelf for shampoo bottles), framed and add dry wall against the cement wall, added a new toilet, sink, vanity, medicine cabinet with mirror, light fixtures, tile floor, and heating element under the floor.
The tiling was the hardest because of all the cuts that had to be made. This was not a simple square, but fit in under the staircase, lots of angles, some vertical and some slanted areas. Then the shelf and bench really made it complicated. It was hard enough just getting the cement board up in the first place, and then all of the tile.
There is not a speck of the original floor, wall, or ceiling left from when we moved in. Wouldn't even recognize it. So now it is completely finished.
