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

[@ST-rt1qm]

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

[@anthonyguzman412]

People want them out though! Any idea on how to make them keep them?

[@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

[@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. 🤷‍♂️

[@Daddy_Dirk_Diggler]

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

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 😂😂😂

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.

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!!!😢😮😢

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

[@SellarsCalabro]

It looks really great at the end. Nice job!

[@MargaretAlvarez-fm3bb]

Keep doing what you're doing! Great job

[@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!

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!!!

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.

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

[@Rizzo2185]

So you DIY’d your own demo, rough-in plumbing and electrical, then you did your own drywall hanging and finishing? I would’ve liked to see you do that part of the process as well as see you hang your own tile backer board plus tile install…

@@gorgewashingtonful, Rust comes right off with either an SOS pad (use gently),or with CLR. Barkeepers friend also works great

FYI for the future. Knock the plaster off, clean that up, then tear the lath off. Then just clean up the lath. Way easier 👍

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.

[@liloonhawaii]

Amazing! good job!

[@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.

[@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.🤦🙄🤷
