After about 4 weeks worth of work over the last two months I re-habbed my hall bath.
Here's the before:

Here's the after:

Here's the short list of projects:
- removed old formica off wall, removed wall paper, removed cardboard ceiling tiles
- restored old-ball CASE toilet to working order with hand-cut rubber gaskets (man, that thing flushes like a MFer!)
- installed shower ring and riser, installed new hot and cold cut-off valves for the tub (see my post in plumbing about how I learned to work on galvanized plumbing - whoops!)
- rehabbed 1940s American standard sink that was original to the original plumbing in the house
- hung tin ceiling
- ran new electric lines for lights and for GFCI outlets for the room, installed overhead light, and sconces
- installed baseboards, chair rail, and crown molding
- painted medicine cabinet
- painted
AND everything works! With all the trim up and painted I have grown fond of the blue (man, I was scared at first). I inaugurated it last night with a LONG HOT SHOWER!
