Once that was all torn out it was time to re-frame everything, this time with new 2x8's...
The area to the left will be where the new shower goes. That part will be recessed so we can eliminate the curb. We'll see how it goes, because A. I'm not a plumber and B. it's a different kind of drain, a linear trench drain which is harder to find info on.
Here's the old plumbing....nothing's tied down and it's coming straight up through the floor, not out from the wall. So, like everything else on this renovation the only solution is to tear it out and redo it.
The toilet plumbing was moved to the other side of the room to free up some space. We have to squeeze out every bit of room we can get.
- an old French's mustard jar from early 1900's
- a couple old soda or beer bottles with the corks still intact
- a large Richmond Dairy milk bottle
- an old liquor bottle
- a bunch of small perfume or spice bottles
- an old wooden door knob
- an old key...who knows, maybe it fits the front door knob
...and then we found these...
...an old pair of leather kids shoes. One pair looked like small boots, the other just regular shoes. Now I've seen enough horror movies to know that it's always a little kid that haunts a house, so hopefully that's not the case here.
Here's a broken plate with a date of 1923. Not sure what kind of plate it was but it has a small calendar of each month around the border.
Time to insulate...the new plumbing for the sink and toilet is in the background, and coming out from the wall like it's supposed to.
I can't find a picture of the bathroom from today but we put the floor down. Next week we're planning on starting the shower build out. Can't wait until this thing is DONE!
