The bathroom required the most work due to it being out dated and very simple. My cousin had already removed the old vanity, replaced the toilet, and put down new flooring. The walls were made up of various pieces of wood paneling so they got covered and painted. I put up shower walls to the bathtub walls. New vanity went in along with a medicine cabinet and vanity lighting.
The biggest change was putting in the plumbing, electrical, and duct work for the washer and dryer. The house never had a dryer, there was a washer in the kitchen for my grandmother to wash and took clothes outside to dry. Later years my grandfather put a gas dryer in the carport. I put up wear strips along the wall so the washer and dryer wouldn't rub the paint off the walls, it was a pretty tight snug fit.
We added a facing to the rough opening to the closet, added more shelves. Trim work was made from the left over wood paneling from my bedroom. The bathtub was stained with decades of grime and high iron levels in the water, couple soaks of CLR removed most but notice the enamel was worn thin in places showing the color of the cast iron.
