The tower room bathroom

After the closet was completed we started the bathroom. As I stated in an earlier post we ran the sewer line and water lines through the columns in the parlor.   


The floors were leveled by sistering new boards to the existing floor joists.

The new subfloor was installed using Advantech subflooring. It's manufactured to be water-resistant.  A bit more costly but just what you need in a room with the potential of high moisture.

The floor, ceiling, and party walls were insulated with Rockwell soundproofing batts. Fiberglass batts were added for some additional soundproofing.

The east wall is an exterior wall consisting of three layers of brick. Foamboard was added to help with insulating the bathroom.

The framework for the bathroom pocket door was built. The top 60% of the framework included planks to make it solid so fixtures would be mounted on the finished wall.

Everything is framed in, ready for the drywall.

Chris does the mudding and taping in the family (she's better at it than I am). All ready for sanding and painting.

After the walls were painted, the final touches were completed such as installing lighting.

Photos of the completed bathroom. (By the way, the flooring is LVP with a marble look). For storage, we constructed built-in shelving for towels and other nick-nacks.

A look at the closet and bathroom pocket doors from the tower room. (The tower room work will begin in the near future.) Thanks for joining us on this journey.
