Bathroom

The bathroom is completely functional although it is the room most in need of upgrading, as the workmanship on its last upgrade was terrible.  The walls are covered with what looks like plastic contact paper, several ceiling tiles are sagging and in bad shape, and the countertop like in the kitchen has been 'tiled' with plastic stick-on floor tiles by some amateur who apparently had no idea what an ugly mess he was creating.  The tub and two sinks appear to be original 60's-style flesh pink enameled steel which are either hideous or cool depending upon your point of view.  The non-matching toilet is obviously not original, and it works well.




 I have an exhaust fan which I intended to mount in that space above the cabinet at rear right that will remain with the mobile home when it is sold.

Bathroom lighting is ample

 Ceiling tile sagging




This space is where I throw dirty clothes, seen below; instead this space could hold a small washer/dryer unit and there is already a hot and cold water supply behind that tan towel for that purpose.  There is no water drain installed or dryer hot air vent yet however.  But the space behind the door, behind that panel seen behind the door, is presently covered up and could be opened up to enlarge the space or add shelving.  I have never looked inside that box-like space (there is a panel opening to it in the hallway) but I think there is an old propane heater inside it which could be removed; on the roof is still an exhaust vent for it.

This is a plastic translucent panel above the shower showing sloppy painting that ought to be re-done.


Center valve handle is missing which would enable switching to filling tub through the spigot, but I think the whole fixture would probably need replacing for that purpose.  Otherwise the hot and cold knobs work fine as is for the shower.

Closeups on shower panels show old water stains.  Some of the shower panels should be replaced for this reason but they are fine to use as is.

High amperage switch under sink area turns off hot water heater without having to cut circuit breaker which supplies the whole bathroom
