Bathroom Tear Down

Starting a new project.... Yes, just after moving in we found out that the walk in shower in the master bath was leaking into the kitchen.  Fortunately, there was a separate tub/shower to use so that gave me a great chance to procrastinate.  So I finally started, slowly first, but decided I'd just have 1000+ pounds of tile and scrap in the garage.

So here's what we started with..  

Breaking in to the wall I found this was not your modern tile installation... Of course the house was built in 1978.  

There was almost an inch of tile, etc back to the wire backing.

I took out the floor some time ago and did the entry floor last year, so I wasn't too suprised.  So I took my hammer and started after the walls.

Working around to different areas and after several hours of hauling the scrap down to the garage waiting for a trip to the dump....

I got things to the point below.  The next fun is to finish around the doorway and handle the ceiling - yes that was tiled the same way too.
