I have made quite a lot of progress these past few weeks, (mostly why I haven’t been posting too often) and I have pictures to show.
First thing I did was stiffen up the floor with 3/4″ plywood where the Shower and tub are to be installed.
Here I have the tub in place for testing, plywood is in place underneath it.
Start of framing wall to bring it out 2 inches
More framing and another test for fitting for the bathtub.
I had to lower the ceiling over the tub and shower to incorporate the star field that I created in and earlier post. I dropped the ceiling by 4″ and recessed the star field about an inch to help it stand out a little. I also lowered the shower column where the rain head will go another 1 1/2″ which will later be tiled.
Start of framing in the ceiling
Location for star field in bathroom ceiling.
Rough in for shower valves also framing for shower which extends onto the roof for a rain shower head.
In this picture you can see my attempts at dampening the sound from the blower motor, I have place one inch foam on the floor, insulation around the tub and am using sound proofing insulation in the tub frame. Hopefully that will do something, at least I can say I tried.
I believe this is my 4th week. This is where I am now.
So That about sums up to where I am at now. It is a slow process, mostly because I’m only working on it a couple of hours at a time after work but also because I really don’t know what I am doing most of the time and am just winging it, but lets keep that a secret.
