Hi all,
I'm doing some bathroom rebuilding, and I'm trying to get a better
understanding of the steps involved. If anyone sees anything miss,
could they please shout out?
thanks in advance!
It's a brick veneer house, with wooden frames.
Steps, as I know them;
1) demolish bathroom
2) relocate pipes and power (we're moving a few things, like the bath)
3) replace floor (water damaged, and the main reason for the reno)
4) resheet walls
5) waterproof
6) bed floor
7) tile floor and walls
8) plumber and electrician finish off
9) paint ceiling
a friend of a friend, who might be hard to contact, let me some a
similar list but it included a step between 4 and 5 above. The step
was "tile on timber floor (villaboard)" but i can't for the life of me
work out what it might mean.
any thoughts?
thanks again

Hie thee to a library and get a book. It will be far faster than
mucking about on the Internet. A bathroom is either the first or
second most complicated room in a house and leaving out a step, or not
understanding its importance, can have repercussions.

Villaboard appears to be a waterproof form of plasterboard/drywall suitable
for use behind tiles in bathrooms.

In the UK we use Hardibacker board which might be similar.
Floors must be very rigid or tiles and grout will crack. Normally some
stiffening work has to be done. There are ways to do this using plywood and
proprietary boards.

Indeed!
It's ok, though, I just learnt one more thing (about the bathroom,
that is)
