Master Bath Remodel Day 1

Day one is usually fun in that I get to break stuff on purpose and throw large pieces of wall into piles and jump on it and then take the sledge hammer and bust up something else. I won't lie, tearing apart someone else's bathroom especially an out dated design is loads of fun. This bathroom wasn't too bad to begin with though. It had the standard decor and tile job from when the home was built. A leaky bath tub is what set this remodel into motion so I'm told. The tub needed replacing so why not re-do the whole bathroom.
We decided to add some extra shower stall space, so once everything was removed including the fiberglass pan, I simply built a new curb out of 2x4's and moved it even with the framing of the tub deck. This added about 9-10 inches of floor space in the shower. The wall between the tub and shower also had to be brought out to match the new dimensions. The owner decided to have glass block installed on that wall as well so I cut out a few 2x4's and re-framed the wall to accept the new glass block wall. The addition of the glass block will bring in more light to the shower since there is a sky light on the tub side of the wall. We decided to add two arched niches, one in the shower and one in the tub area. Hopefully eliminating the need for the giant metal corner shelving unit thingy. The vent for the drain in the shower had to be re-routed to acomodate the new niche. That's about all for day one.
