OK the piece we needed on the new wall is called Ty Vek. Its made of fiberglass and wont tear and wont allow water in. So that'll be against the back of the house.
The new wall cost $150 in materials (plus the $543.04 we spent on tile.) I'll have to go back to all the old posts to find out how much time in labor -- so far its about 28-30 hours of very hard labor. I'll come back and revisit this.
We only have a few hours available to us this week as we are traveling again this time to visit family. Asher hasnt seen his mother in over a year. A contractor's job is not easy. This bathroom renovation at our house, he's doing alone. The walls are big and heavy and unwieldy. Measurements must be exact. It really takes at least two people to much of this work. To do this on Sunday, his only day to relax, also takes its toll. Today he had to go to two customers for much of the day. One to fix a leak and the other to make the basement shower drain better (probably roots growing into the system.) And he had to do some work on our pond (see pond picture -- I eat breakfast out here every morning, its our oasis.)
Asher needed to screw the back wall in, but needed it flush with another piece of wood. so he held it in place and I got to use the drill (YEAH) and screw in the screw. So now I can tell everyone that I built the new bathroom.
The new back wall is in place. Its treated wood, wrapped in Ty-Vek. Its ready for insulation. I believe building a new sub floor is next. Three hours tonight in labor.
