The new room is going to be gorgeous, but we had to make a few changes due to building codes. Mainly, we added a new door and window to replace the old window (because it was old and the non-tempered glass wasn't up to code), a little ramp leading to that door so that there is now access to the deck from the bathroom, and other details! This little hiccup in the process will be a blessing in disguise, as now there is direct access to the exterior of the house from the master suite -- which is not only awesome (going from a nice bath to the deck) but very useful for wheelchair access directly into the bedroom so that I can flop into bed.

IN CONSTRUCTION: Fugly To Fabulous Pictures
Here's the new tub going in under a gorgeous window I got off of Craigslist for $300 bucks! This s the exact same corner of the room -- a hideous mustard yellow toilet cubicle is now a gorgeous tub under a window that seems to add twice as much space.
Tub is an American Standard corner whirlpool from Home Depot (I purchased on sale for $899, but now it's $999).
Just to the right of the above pic, in the space where half of the hideous yellow tub/shower used to sit on the other side of the toilet cubicle, there will be a new curbless Wedi shower sitting next to the tub, with a shower seat and a grab bar that doubles as a shampoo holder.
A trip through black moldsville -- here's what the insulation looked like before it was all ripped out to be replaced with green, EcoTouch insulation (formaldehyde free).
From yellow corner tub/shower with toilet cubicle to *other* corner tub, *plus* shower, *plus* window *minus* toilet cubicle! (shower door is coming!)
