For those of you waiting to get another update on the bathroom, here it is.  (See the post on demo here.)

As I previously posted, we did the demo on  July 13.  The following week the contractors came and began the plumbing, building of the tub frame, putting up new walls, the shower pan, and much more.  It took them a total of 6 days to get the room ready for us to come back in and get started with our part.

The new tub deck.

The shower.

Shower Pan.

The opening got wider before it got smaller (to put the pocket door in).

Wider view into the bedroom.

Kyle took off the last week of July/first week of August and worked mainly on tiling the bathroom.  The drywallers came Wednesday of that week and we were also able to get some painting done towards the end of the week.
   Day 1 (Monday):

Tiling!

The finished product for day 1.

Prepping for the floor tiles that need to be added.

I had to paint the entire linen closet. . . Twice. Not fun.

  Day 2 (Tuesday):

We took the bathroom vanity into the living room to inspect it.  The girls enjoyed the bubbles it was shipped in.

Coloring in the vanity box.

Finished this much on Tuesday.

What was done on Tuesday (although pic not taken until after drywall was done on Wed.)

  Day 3 (Wed.):

The wall gets closed in.

The water closet is painted and the shelving started.  (And look at the fancy new TP holder ;-).)

The wall is closed in. (View from bedroom)

                       (No tiling on Wed. due to the drywall)

  Day 4 (Thursday):

Shower getting close to done.

   Day 5 (Friday):

The floor & bench are done. (You can see the paint on the right of the shower.)

New lighting going up.  You can see the light blue here.  It looks darker in person.

Since Kyle went back to work, our progress has slowed a little bit.  We had to tile around the tub before it can be installed.  The tiling has been completed (at least what we can do until the tub gets installed), including the grouting and sealing.  So, hopefully the contractors will come back soon to install the tub, measure for the shower door, and install the pocket door.  Kyle is continuing to work on the door & window casings, which, along with the tiling after the bath is installed, are the main items yet to get done.

I will probably wait until the project is completed to post another update, so it will be a little while, although hopefully not too long.  In addition to not having a useable bathroom, we also have a 72" vanity in our living room.
