I decided to save money and increase my craftsman skills by remodeling a bathroom. I have never done any home project like this before on my own, but I got a few things going for me. First off, the bathroom is an extra bathroom that gets only a little bit of traffic, meaning I have the freedom to work on this project on the weekends instead of trying to rush to get it done. Also, I have my construction advisory panel that I plan on leveraging for material selection and how to advice.

Bathroom - Before (2012-01-27)

As you can see, this is your standard second bathroom. The tub is porcelain on steel contraction and the wall is white 4 inch tile with white grout. You can’t see it in the picture, but the floor is vinyl. When we first moved in two years ago the floor was carpet. We never could get used to it so we replaced it after about three months with vinyl linoleum.
