Just finished remodeling the master bathroom. Last piece of the puzzle was the window trim. I used left over HDU from sign jobs for all but the window sill, which is PVC.

VERY nice!! :)
Love the detail, and bet it makes a difference in the "feel" of the room!

Man, I'm not showing this thread to my wife! I'm currently remanufacturing all the windows in the downstairs and am going stock to stock. I've been replacing all areas that are prone to rot (or have rotted) with redwood and it's turning out very nice. I've been using my SB to take off the outer 0.3" of the sashes and make precision pieces with redwood. Working out great! We got a quote that was more than the cost of my SB to replace 15 windows so for about 1/10th the price, I'm remanufacturing them myself. I was just shocked at the cost of new groovy windows. Shocked!
Very nice! Really 'ties the room together'.

That coupled with some serious procrastination and now we finally got a Round-to-it. These pics are from just before destruction. After the tornado we replaced the window that didn't survive, and then just cleaned up the mess, until now. Luckily the bathroom door slammed shut when the window broke to sort of contain the debris. Still had to replace the bedroom carpet though, as the glass still got in the bedroom.
Before shots.
After shots. A lot of the woodwork/cabinet work is from the CNC and wasn't damaged too bad by the tornado, so it stayed.
Thanks Cory. I have a lot of files on the computer for cabinets, millwork, etc. that I've done around the house over the years. It does save a ton of money and gives you the opportunity to make stuff just a little different from what can be bought at the store.
Post some photos of you projects if you get time. I always like to see what other people are coming up with.
Thanks Brady. After almost 3 months of working in my spare time, my favorite part of the project is that it's done. :rolleyes:
Restate!! MASSIVE improvement!! :)
LIKE the floor to ceiling tiling approach!!
Did it on my two baths, and saved a ton of possible problems when my friends kids were little, and even still managed to get the ceiling wet!! :)
Whoduthunk my in 10' ceiling speaker grills could rust!! :(
One thing I STILL appreciate a couple decades later is my 60yr old tile guy saying "Over time...white grout turns grey...black grout turns grey...go neutral. AND if you don't like cleaning grout...go minimal grout lines" Very wise old guy!!!! :)
BEAUTIFUL job!! LIKING the roll-in shower...even though a PITA to get the pitch right for a threshold free set-up.
Better than new!
Congrats!

And, a few of the house after the tornado. Looks bad, but we came thought it in much better shape than many around us.
Thanks for the comments Scott. I used hydro barrier and anti-fracture cloth on the whole floor, all the seems and hydro barrier behind all the tile, floor and walls. A little over kill, but like you said, better to have too much water protection than not enough. I also spent a lot of time getting the whole floor slightly pitched to the shower 1/4" drop where the mosaic tile stripe is, to contain the water and then 1/4" slope per foot in the shower. It was a good feeling when I turned the shower off and all the water went to the drain, leaving no puddles behind. :cool:
Gary,
Your posts are so inspirational. Especially so with the before and after. It's heart breaking seeing the ravages of the storm.
Thank you for posting.
OUCH!!
I can see why bathroom remodel took a backseat!
NICE you bothered to pitch the entire bathroom, wished I had done mine when one Christmas had 2 friends over with their 6 yr old boys.
We stuck the 2 boys in the shower(4 body sprays/rainforest head/and 2 handhelds) with their new action toys, I was at the computer 22' away and separated by the 6'wide pocket doors, when one of the girls yelled "The boys are being too quiet Scott...you better check!".
I turned towards the pocket doors, and WATER was coming from underneath them! Opened doors, and Master bedroom floor was covered and water was pouring through the bathroom door and the boys were on the bathroom floor making"Water Angels"!! A totally clear piece of plastic from the toys was fully covering the 4" shower drain!!
Thank goodness for Large Industrial floor squeegee/concrete slab floor with radiant heat/and "bathtub" wall construction!!!
Of course the boys didn't do it on purpose....Right!! :)
You can't plan for everything.
Did CNC come in handy for any of that MAJOR recovery?
Congrats on the recovery!!
Must have been heartbreaking:(

Wow, when you think of flooding, kids isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind. lol.
We had to replace both the entry door and window above it in the foyer. That ended up being a strip to the studs and rebuild. This is what I came up with, with a lot of help from the ShopBot.
Couple more. There's CNC millwork all over the house. A little at a time here and there.
That's one HECK of an entry foyer!!! :)
TREMENDOUS attention to detail!
Yep, stripping to studs gives you a lot of options, and I'm sure like the bathroom it's a Major improvement!
Great Craftsmanship!
Think of time to hand do all that! Shopbot certainly makes a speedier Apprentice!
Thanks for the pics!!

Thanks Joe. Yea, we were lucky. There's houses all around us that are no more.Quote:

Thanks Robtown. I've been through a few straight line wind storms that did damage, but nothing like this. Once is more than enough for me.
I've had my bot for 10 years now. I have been semi active on the forum(s) here and on Vectric. I love showing my wife some of the great stuff that folks can do with the machines. HOWEVER - I AM NOT SHOWING HER THIS THREAD! OMG what great work. To say this was done with a tool is not giving yourself enough credit. All of that millwork is just fabulous. Carving by machine is good but the overall design work and then the terrific finishing, WOW, just WOW! Thanks you so much for sharing. Just fabulous! Russ
Thanks for the compliments Russ. It's appreciated. I get a wild hair every once in awhile, but those times are getting fewer & fewer. I feels good to have this job done though.
It looks really great, as others said the whole overall job just fits together very nicely.
Thanks Brian.
