Progress Update: Bathroom finish work
I put in a Toto because they are supposed to be quiet and the wall in back of the toilet faces the kitchen. Turns out that the soundproofing in the wall would probably have been enough. The switch next to the toilet is to a two pole circuit for the bath fan. That's so that if you decide you'd like the fan on, well, there it is.
Took my first shower. As expected, the heated slab for the floor and the steel studs in the walls made for a cozy shower. The stall dried very quickly.
The bath cabinets are kitchen cabinets (36" height). Makes for a better working surface. I extended the lav counter out for a folding area with room for a laundry hamper underneath.
The upper cabinet is actually a laundry chute from the upstairs bath.
This is a little bench next to the upstairs tub pony wall (which will get a marble remnant on top to match the window sill).
It is also the laundry chute. The drawer was modified to slope towards the chute.
Faucet ready for installation. It has a hand-held shower. That's why the tub surround is tiled.
