House Project #3: A good ole fashioned shower raising

We knew after buying the house that one of the first projects we wanted to do was to make the ceiling in the shower higher. For the average height person the shower ceiling would probably have never been an issue but for those of us being around 6 feet washing our hair was going to be an issue. We had noticed that all of the ceilings surrounding the shower were 1-2 feet higher than the shower itself. So we thought "why not just raise it up?". No one seemed to think we couldn't do it and our contractor suggested we should do it before moving in, so thus began project #3.

We also decided that since we were raising the ceiling it might be nice to cut an opening in the wall to allow the steam and moisture to escape back into the bathroom and hence towards the fan. This would also give us a shelf to put shower things. Granted this will be too high for most people, so yep that will be where the pricey stuff goes!
Additionally we will also be adding a sun tunnel but that won't be happening until we replace the roof (alluding to future projects!).


As you can see, Ben is now very happy to be able to throw his hands up like he just don't care (and not touch the ceiling)!
