Why couldn’t be refurbish the sink and tub though? Also, I bet pieces of that tile could be used for something.

@@sugaring3921 If they redid the plumping they could have done anything other than the original. They didn't have to, but they had better options, honestly.

The old cast iron tubs keep the water hot when doing a long soak unlike the newer fiberglass ones.

[@jmcc524]

Just add insulation around the fibreglass tub

[@Pheg320]

Just get a good water heater and top off I have a claw foot fiberglass tub and I love it

[@viktorianagy964]

You can also give a new coating to both the tub and the sink. I did in my 1955 apartment and I am very happy with the result

[@Daddy_Dirk_Diggler]

The old tub & sink absolutely would have looked good. Mistake replacing them.

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

And toilet too.

[@michigantoiletproductions1940]

I think the toilet was the 30s modernus

[@tresand9595]

Awwwww I have the same tile on my bathroom floor in pink 😂 it was my grandparents and my grandma chose it. When I redid the bathroom I was able to keep it and the pink tub lol everyone thought it would look awful but it does look amazing styled correctly.

[@gadamer73]

What worries me is asbestos in the floor concrete. Pre-WWII that was commonly mixed into floors. 🤷‍♂️

[@justinjoeltracyii]

Pro tip. It is going to be a lot harder but you're supposed to be going sideways with your drywall sheets, not long ways. The reason is because the sheets support each other when they're resting on each other.

[@mx-deadz]

resting on each other? yea you don't know what ur talking about 😂😂😂

I can't believe you didn't reuse the pedestal sink, and art deco tub!!! The were sooo cute! You could have updated them with rustoleum resurfacing paint for bathroom fixtures, and they would have looked brand new!!!😢😮😢

[@AllisonShiro]

Yea. But I would prefer having sink with counter and drawer or cabinets.

[@SmileCentral]

Massive mistake to replace that great tub with crummy fiberglass...:(

[@diverdave4056]

i talked my sister into getting her old tub refinished ... She love's it and she saved a lot of $$$

[@boricuaalma2176]

It's not a MASSIVE mistake, not everyone likes or prefers the same things... and he said certain things were not salvageable! sometimes old things have to be replaced by new things.

[@kamluv1237]

It was most likely porcelain

[@haveagreatday3664]

I just bought that exact pedestal sink, only a few years older, with separate hot and cold taps to replace a cheap inappropriate vanity that was in my newly purchased historic Victorian home. She’s not installed yet but I’m going to keep the rust on it and celebrate her in her almost 100 year old form. Just realized the sink is extremely short and hard to use…but it’s too late and the rustic sink will be the coolest part of the room. Hope you guys keep yours, even if it’s to give/sell to someone like me that would be honored to have it.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Could you build a platform for it to raise it up? Good luck with your "new" old home. I love them too!

[@mikerourke9182]

Couple comments about asbestos, it's not prevalent in all building materials before 1978 but it was a great insulator and used in hvac and heating flue pipes primarily.

[@skylineOwnZall]

Just in that bathroom, It could have been used in the plaster, ceramic thinset, tub/sink caulk, and plumbing insulation.

[@islandpersuasion4690]

You definitely could've salvaged everything.

[@johnzoid74]

do you have pull pull permits to do this level of diy?

[@leal536]

Oh my - reminds me of the bathroom remodel my husband & I did years and years ago!! The original build was also plaster and lathe BUT, we discovered that the tub was put in before the floor so there was a problem there and we could not use the old tub. A lot of work went into this! Fortunately, my husband was a carpenter so that part of the remodel went just fine! The plumbing, not so much!!!

[@BaldandInsecure187]

Did you have to use new studs? The original 2x4 looks great or were they damaged, curious as I want to do the same

[@artemis5210]

I would have ripped up any other floor in the house and crawled through the subfloor for the plumbing rather that destroy that beautiful floor tile!

[@tylerparkin9451]

That tile was hideous🤮

A easy way to fit the trash from plaster & lath is to lay the trashcan on its side and put the wood in that way, you will use up a lot more space valuably

[@deliciawhittaker3880]

[@chicobuddy95]

Next time just take down the plaster and you can leave the lathe there for more backer support. Or if you want remove all of it, take off the plaster first and then the lathe it makes faster clean up.

[@burningdust]

Unfortunately the new drywall won’t last nearly as long as the lath and plaster. Better to use the mould resistant type at least.

[@0GRANATE0]

How do you know how much of te wall you are allowed to remove? Why did you remove all the wood pieces? Why not just the tiles and then put the new plaster on it?

[@Jc34759]

Curious how much this would cost? I wanted to open up the main bathroom, and I have a 1/2 bathroom in the next room over and I wanted to open both up and the same time and move the plumbing around.

That wood behind the tile looked totally dry!! I've been trying to waterproof my shower, watching 100s of videos about using membranes, tape, foam... Thousands just for waterproofing. Now it looks like your 1930s shower was just thin set sitting on 1x's, no water damage... What's the secret lol?!

[@nikandlivDIY]

We prefer Schluter systems! Haha but yeah these old showers are incredible 😂😂

[@randibgood]

The secret is that was done by quality craftsmen. And it was all torn out and I'm sure will be replaced with the same grey/black and white bathroom EVERY house has now. They'll probably even put a barn door up in there somewhere. And didn't even salvage the tub, tile, sink or toilet. People just don't appreciate the craftsmanship that these older houses glow with.🤦🙄🤷

They just ripped it all out without caring at all.

[@AJ-ox8ev]

So how did you handle thw Asbestos?

[@strelkabrown2091]

Right?!

[@shejean]

How do you even know there was asbestos in the house? We own a 120-year-old house. There is NO asbestos in the house. NEVER WAS. We have horsehair plaster (which does suck) 2 years ago we had our 1 full-bath bathroom remodeled. A knee wall was taken down, adding a foot to the floor plan and another 2 feet was added by going into a bedroom. Everything was taken down to the studs. We even had the radiator taken out and an electric baseboard was put in. I think we’ve turned it on only twice! (We live in the Northeast!) As this is our only full bath we did replace the tub and added barn door sliding glass doors., and added a rain shower shower head; instead of putting in a walk-in shower. We also were able to put in a 60-inch double vanity with vessel sinks. The toilet was moved to a different wall than where it was before. The entire bathroom was pricy (around $26,000 total); but worth it. It’s really beautiful.
