Maybe you could help answer some questions I have about my basement bathroom remodel? I posted this on someone else's thread in the Basements forum, but thought it might get more attention here.

There was a sheet metal box jutting into the corner, that dh cut a vent into for central heat. Since we moved the wall back, extending the room, this box is no longer in the corner, so we drywalled around it.

My husband and his friend rounded this box to match the neo-round shower, which I understand was a lot of work, but to me it looks horrible! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad without the vent stuck in the middle of it.

There is an eyeball recessed light behind the soffit they created, in the corner, that the mirror will be mounted under. The soffit blocks most of the light from this fixture.

The neo-round shower is in the opposite corner. Dh did a beautiful tile job, with a stone/marble chip border.

This half of the ceiling is drywalled, the other half is suspended, with smooth gypsum tiles. We needed access to several shut-offs. It doesn't look drastically different, but I wonder if a suspended ceiling could have been used over the shower as well?

I don't think we needed a vent, the combo fan/light/heater seems like it should be adequate for our needs?

What is involved in removing this sheet metal box altogether?

I don't like how it turned out at all, and am maybe considering tearing down the drywall on the ceiling (husband will love me for that, ha!) and doing suspended tiles throughout, esp. if we can get rid of that box.

We haven't installed the frameless shower doors, mirror, vanity or toilet yet. Please help!
