With Phase I of the master bathroom moving along, Phase II got kicked off. Goodbye fiberglass shower!

New bracing so that the toilet paper holder on the other side has wood to mount to.

The black pipe needs to be relocated into the wall and then the tile starts.

The uninsulated pieces will be niches. They should be nice.

Why plumb things correctly when I can fix it 25 years later?

This should help make the kitchen below more quiet.

When I insulate a wall, I do it right.
