OK, we decided to change our double vanity out for 2 small vanities. The old one was usable but would have needed some work....and anyhoo what's the point of a remodel without new ideas? So we picked them up, they are in the garage. We are keeping our same toilet, it's like an old friend.... We decided we wanted to go from our blue and creme airy bathroom to a dramatic darker earth tone scheme. but with white accents and trim. The new steel tub is white, the toilet is white and the vanities are white with sort of a brown marble top and white underhung sinks.
We picked a nice vinyl that was the same brand as we bought for my MIL's bathroom but in a different pattern. We knew hers to be nice and durable with a thick profile. I do lots of bathroom work with the guy I work for and one thing I know. Say what you want but in bathrooms vinyl is trouble free and needs no upkeep beyond a mop once in a while.
I got the vinyl put down Thursday night. I measured it out carefully before I was satisfied that it would not be crooked against the tub or vanities. Pet peeve but crooked lines drive me crazy. It's a nice dark brown rusty sorta faux tile looking sheet vinyl. I like it.

Today, I set about replumbing everything from scratch. There was an issue with the old 3" main drain I had to repair which made doing the rest over in a better way a necessity. The goal today was to get the toilet back in and working. I set the flange and set about routing the drain PVC. I am running a new vent for it as well. I used nice hangers for the vent and will use them for the tub and sink drains. I had installed two valves on the bathroom supply copper when I did the demo. I connected these to Pex and ran Pex for the toilet. I plan to use it for everything. I love Pex..... All in all everything went smoothly and we can poop at home again. Tomorrow I start setting the tub and plumbing it.
