Neighbors Quoted $12,000 So I Renovated Their Bathroom For FREE
What happens here
With the demolition complete, move on to plumbing and electrical rough-in. For plumbing, ensure the water supply is shut off. Use PEX crimping tools and PEX pipes to move the existing hot and cold water lines 12 inches to the side for the new vanity placement. Install new PEX fittings and stub out the lines. For electrical, get rid of the old light fixture box and install two new electrical boxes for sconces on either side of where the mirror will be. Use a drill and drill bit to feed new electrical wire from the existing power source to the new box locations. Additionally, rough in a can light for the shower ceiling, ensuring all wiring meets code.
Goal: Relocate plumbing lines for the vanity and rough in new electrical for sconces and a shower light.
