Flip House Bathroom

Thought is was time to show some updates of the flip house!  Mind you there are still a few things to do in the bathroom but it is so close to being done that I had to take some pics.

 Tiny bathroom but we were able to fit in a 30 inch vanity and a tub/shower.

 We had to take the room down to the studs, replace all the plumbing, hang green board and replace the sub floor.  We kept the window, tub, and toilet because they were all new.  We upgraded all the molding.

 We tiled the tub all the way up to the ceiling.  There was a bunch of sticky gunk all over the tub that I had to remove.

 Once the gunk was removed the tub looked pretty good.

 The vanity and sink were from Lowes.  I like the simplicity of the design.  The soft grey/beige paint picks up the grey in the floor tile and vanity stain.  It is so nice to have a functioning bathroom at the job site now!

We have been working in the dining room the past few days.  Ron had to figure out some weird wiring (when you turned on the dining room light you also got the ceiling light in the third bedroom to come on........and vice versa.  We also got the sliding door in.  Most of the sub floor has been replaced through out the houseand I have started mudding the dining room and one bedroom's walls.  Framed out the pass through too!  Tomorrow a contractor is working on repairing some of the outside siding.  Everyday we are getting closer to putting this cute little house on the market and getting a little break from all this hard work.

Progress At The Flip House

What have we gotten done on the flip?

We have been very busy tearing out icky carpet, rotted floors and badly cut molding/

Above is a picture of the bathroom stripped down to the subfloors.

The third bedroom's floor was un-salvageable.  What we thought would be wood floors under the carpet were instead old tile over plywood.  It was curling up at the edges and just ugly.

And the wood floors in the living room were buckled and warped beyond repair so they had to go too.

 And just when things looked like we were done with demo......a freak wind storm broke a huge limb off our neighbor's tree and crashed it into the house, well, the edge of the roof but it was still a bummer.  Broke some of the gutters but no other damage so I guess we were pretty lucky.

THEN, after we put in the new tile in the bathroom and installed the toilet......we discovered the sewer pipes were rotted through so all the drains were dripping into the basement.  Yuck.  Add another chore to the list.....replace all the sewer pipes.  Which means we also have to take out the toilet again.
