Although this new bathroom is a bit smaller because of additional plumbing walls, it appears larger. Substituting a shower for the bathtub, adding a large mirror, and using a wall-hung sink and toilet all renovationremodeling contribute renovationremodeling to the spacious feeling. This big-picture stuff is striking, but it''s the step-by-step details that make it work. We cover the little kernels of information that will help your project go more smoothly and with fewer headaches.A bathroom remodel is a big project. If you can only work weekends, your bathroom will be out of commission for two months or renovationremodeling more. You''ll need all your expertise as an experienced do-it-yourselfer because you''ll have to tackle electrical, plumbing, tiling, drywalling, taping and even exterior siding. In this article, we''ll deal mostly with the nuts and bolts of ripping out existing plumbing and replacing it correctly with new, easily installed PVC piping. For detailed how-to in other areas, see .

Glass block comes in 8-in. and 6-in. squares and 4 x 8-in. half-block rectangles. You''ll need to choose between real mortar grout joints and clear silicone-joined blocks. We chose the silicone system because we liked the clean, uninterrupted look. Whichever way you go, buy the panel preassembled and banded together as one unit, ready to set into renovationremodeling the opening. Remember that it''s easy to make the opening smaller by using furring, but it can be an ugly task to make it bigger. When going with mortar-grouted panels, figure each block is 8 in. wide, then add 1/4 in. to both the total height and width. If you''re ordering silicone-joined blocks, figure each block at 7-3/4 in. and don''t add the extra 1/4 in. The wall behind the toilet can be almost any height. For a standard toilet height of 15 in., make the wall a minimum height of 43 in. If you''d like a higher toilet, make the wall that much higher. Or, make the wall go all the way to the ceiling. We built a short wall to conserve space and to create a shelf and a mirror alcove. The renovationremodeling wall at the opposite end of the shower can be any height as well. We made it the same height as the toilet/sink wall so we could line up the accent tile and make a convenient shower shelf.

Disconnect the trap from the tub, remove any clips, fasteners or screws that hold the tub to the wall, and demolish the old cast iron tub with a sledgehammer Remove the sink and toilet. Turn off the electricity, at the main panel and remove light fixtures. Cap the wires with wire renovationremodeling connectors. Then rip out the wall finishes and surfaces clean down to the studs and pull out any insulation. If your ceiling is in good shape, use a utility knife to cut the drywall along the edges so the wall materials will separate cleanly from the ceiling. You can complete the glass block project the first weekend Converting a bathtub with a conventional renovationremodeling window above it to a shower is dicey business, but the result is striking. Order a premade glass block window to fit your existing opening . Look under "Glass Block" in the to find a supplier.The key to a weatherproof, attractive glass block renovationremodeling window both inside and out is to encase it in a custom-built wooden frame with inside dimensions that are 1/2 in. taller and wider than the panel itself. That will give you room to adjust and shim the panel exactly and then inject expanding foam between the frame and the panel to lock it into the opening
