Just a quick thanks, a hello, and since everyone loves pics, my bathroom...
I've been lurking for some time now, and yearning for Festool, oh, anything for quite a while now. I'm a DIY'er; we have a home built in 1993 that we've been working hard to update and put our own stamp on it. The wife and I both have careers, plus 3 young boys under 9, so progress is only sporadic and on the weekends. I've got a decent DIY's basement workshop with your usual complement of tools (Delta Unisaw, dust collection, Makita LiIon + Bosch drills, PC routers & table, PC miter saw, etc. However this weekend my wife gave me the green light for an early Christmas present....so I went big and purchased a DF-500 plus the Tenon Assortment. Needless to say I'm fired up!
I've learned a tremendous amount already, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the projects I'm seeing - I really appreciate the skill I've seen - believe me I know first hand! Thanks for sharing them.
Regardless, here's our bathroom redo. Hopefully I won't get banned on my first post because I didn't own any Festool at the time, which would have made several steps considerably more efficient....promise I'll be back with Festool-generated projects ASAP...
I outsourced the tiling, plus the shower. I did demo, built and installed the cabinets, plumbing, and all lighting. Cabinets are prefinished maple with dados and pocketholes, with solid oak fronts all stained espresso with a pre-cat gloss lacquer. They look black in the pics but reveal more grain detail in person.
