This is the work I got done today... as always, it took longer than I thought. I got the bathroom paneled and trimmed. I need to hook up the plumbing add a few more pieces of trim and cover some screws... but I think it looks good and the feel is good with enough room. oh yes... almost forgot. I need to install the sliding door as well. That will get done tomorrow also.

Tomorrow I panel the garage area and trim that... then some plumbing and electrical..

The pics just do not show the whole bathroom like I can see it. :-( I tried the panoramic view, but it just distorts it.

This is the light switch wiring on the other side.

May switch it back, but I turned the valve upside down as suggested. Mentioned that in an earlier post.

Thanks...LOL... It pretty much will be a tiny house (or at least have all the same amenities) that you can pull your motorcycle into and transport it along with everything else. :-)

flboy, Howdy;

Don, here in my rv the hose comes out of the top. There is however, a loop
mounted to the shower wall about 8 or 10 inches above it to act as a strain relief.
Then your valves will work in the direction that pleases you and ya won't have
to worry about the hose bustin' the plastic vacuum breaker between the hose and
the valve body.

Don, That is a beautiful bathroom. Really something to be proud of. The design, planning and execution all are very impressive. My hat is off to you, Sir. Also, I personally like rev. b on the shower controls, but there is only one way to know for sure. Your gonna have to ask Her. Lets be honest here, you didn't build that work of art to pamper your stinky butt. I'll give it about a week or so before the fancy towels, potpourri and flower shaped soaps start showing up. And then my friend, all will be right with the world. Another room your not allowed in, but you saw this coming. Don and the Benz using the outside shower, just like it was always meant to be. Sometimes, for a brief moment, the world just makes sense.

McDave, thanks for the nice words. Absolutely correct on who the bathroom is for. She was already out there taking measurements for a shower curtain. I did ask for no flowers :-) . This is still suppose to be a man cave... but what good is a man cave without the wife showing up once in a while. :thumbsup:

Some progress pics. I got the rear paneled and will finish that up tomorrow hopefully. It is just a primed coat of white. It needs a finish coat, but that will be last. I still have to put up the ceiling and floor trim, but I'll wait to do that after I build the overhead cabinets and the dining booth. I'll need to trim around that. I broke all my rotozip bits today and will run to Lowes this evening and get a few more. I need to trim some around the windows and get those trim rings on also. Last but not least, I got the bathroom door squared up and put the accordion door on it. I really like it. It takes up no space when open and slides closed real easy.

The door. :-)

Thanks Hank. I haven't decided yet. My daughter thinks a very light gray would look nice with the white trim. I'll probably take tier advise. I am fashion/decor challenged.. or so my girls tell me. :shock:

From your pictures it looks like your shower does not have a tall rim on it. I'm talking about a 6" or so rim above the top edge of the pan that will hold the shower curtain so water drains inside the pan.

+1 :lol: same here.
The wife decided colors on my build as well. After 4 trips to different paint departments and asking me what I thought about "this color combination" or how I thought "this would look" she quit asking.
