Whetherfield Scrapbook
This is a newer home so the challenges are far different than a bathroom remodel in Old South or Old North. The plumbing was already roughed in, the layout was already completed, and the drywall was ready. In other words – half the work had already been completed by the builder.

What am I showing you here? Well…turns out the original builder reversed the water lines. So the hot and cold were reversed — meaning the toilet was filling with scalding water. Since everything was tiled, I had to open the wall from the backside. Luckily, fairly quick fix.
