Here is the first draft of our bathroom.... the idea is to make a bathroom that is wheelchair accessible with a big roll in shower. At this point we think that we are going to use slate as the floor surface and walls in the shower...
A very good friend of our is helping us with the plumbing.... John (João) is one of my first friends here in the US. He is just a little older then us and has a fantastic wife.... He asked me to make a hole on the floor to put the pipes for the toilet and the drain (center picture). I also put the first wall up on the back.... On the second day, John installed the drains, the shower and the water for the toilet... while I put a second wall up. Slowly we are moving toward a new bath :)
Today we went to Home Depot Clearance center and bought a new shower, a new faucet for the half bath upstairs and a few other things... its the best store ever... to bad they will be closing soon :(
We will continue posting our updates soon....
