The Head

What started out as a project to give the main bathroom a nautical look; like a head on a cruise ship. turned into a 6 day wood-working project.

And one pain after another............

    Firstly, right after we took the BEFORE pictures, PJ dropped the $700 digital camera and the diskette is still jammed in it.  So unless you saw the bath before, you have no idea of the immense change.

    Secondly, nothing was available in the way of construction material which we desired.  Every thing you see was either refabricated by Cathy and I or milled to our specifications.  We are still amazed that the entire project came in under $650.   ?!?!?

     Thirdly, because of the second issue, nothing fit right and poor Joe had to re-work almost every inch of the wood work.

 

New floor and toilet seat in. 


New sink, new faucet. I used the large mirror as a reflective pool in the front yard.

 

Panelling is hung.


Each panel had double sets of cut ins. Every line had to be pened in permanent marker.

All those blue lines are the cut-ins mentioned on your left.


Remove the paneling, add a door and you have what the bath looked like before.

 


New large mirror installed, med-cab out of the way and wall preped.

 

Nice.


Cathy had to paint the walls blue.  Hung moulding against a white ceiling. You'll see why the panelling stops where it does shortly.

We're ready to tackle the shelving.


The shelving will line the entire room - at the height where the panelling reached up the walls.

And was on tough chore!


PJ had a list of tasks from holding the directions to handing us the "pieces."


Rope moulding is a theme.

Better view of the moulding.


Just had to post this one..
That's Joe's Halloween custom from last year... shorts with pumkins on them.

 

And now the finished images. Looking in from the hall.

Looking out from the shower.
