The 40-year-old bathroom needed an update. Not only was it dated, but a failure to properly install the shower 40 years ago caused lots of water damage that needed to be dealt with.
This one has lots of features: heated floors, custom shower glass, custom vanity, corian (a solid surface) vanity top, Moen fixtures, sound insulation between walls, special drywall that actually cleans the air (removes VOC, even through paint and primer).

This is the original shower. While it was built like a bomb shelter (see following pics), it wasn’t built correctly, and there was a lot of water damage under the floor.

This is the backside of the shower. Even exposed, it took over a day to break it up with jack hammers, pry bars, and breaker bars.

Finally, starting to put stuff back in. The drywall shown is an anti VOC drywall — it removes impurities even through primer and paint.

What you can’t see in the floor are the heating cables. This bathroom has a 7-day programmable thermostat so the floor is always nice and warm on the feet.
