Design/build. This project involved essentially removing all the stuff back to the studs and starting over. The toilet stuck out too far from the wall, the style was dated, and the client wanted a tub added to the space. The extra space was to come from a closet in the next room. Located on the 2nd floor, the project had to watch the egress and entry areas to cover and protect exiting finishes. Additionally, a plastic curtain wall was placed between the living area and the work area to keep dust to a minimum.

Removing and re-placing building materials meant climbing stairs often with heavy loads, so we had to be careful of not damaging finished surfaces as wells as not hurting ourselves. We also had to deal with plumbing drains that were previously not done well, and existing electrical wires that were running through the 8" projection where the shower wall started. It was an empty cavity that needed to be added to the room, minus the utilities that were there.
