bathroom remodeling photo log

the original bathroom dates back to 1963. it was constructed at a time when building material was rare in east-germany (we'll it always was). the interior walls are made from shop windows; flooring several layers of vinyl flooring to cover up the old and shoddy floorboards; no tiles; rudimentary plumbing...

we are attempting to get the biggest bang for the buck. so despite the not so ideal preconditions there's not going to be a major reconstruction. everything is supposed to be simple and straightforward. the budget should not exceed 1000 euros (appr. $1400) - we are currently at about 700 eu.

what happened so far:

i've been sidetracked and worked on that berneckerbernecker.de almost all week.
went back to remodelling on friday. the plumber is doing his spiel right now. hopefully i'll be all done on monday!

day SIX: plumber done, all the hook ups in place, electricity done. dry wall set up...
day SEVEN: sinus/ear infection got me work half time. so only stucco today. paint, flooring tomorrow.
day EIGHT: major work done. now final touch ups - the fun part...
