Redoing the half bath

Part of the former WavyGlass.org site. This was the place where most discussions occurred.

So there was some damage around the toilet flange. Someone put a piece of plywood there and the new toilet won't cover it. So I pulled it up.

Since we don't have any salvage place around I had to salvage it from our house. We cut a hole in the bathroom wall a while ago to see under the steps. We noticed that the flooring went under a built in bench. So there was a bunch of short pieces available to use to patch the floor. So I cut a big hole. Then cut out the flooring.

Here's the wife and daughter under the steps.

Everything is coming together very nicely. Great job re-purposing that corner cabinet & getting those faucets re-plated!
