Bathroom ceiling
Hi
I removed the drywalls in the bathroom in my basement and also the drywall in the roof of that bathroom. I do not want drywalls. Now I see in the roof a wood (please see attached pictures / links). What is this used for? Can I remove it. I want the bathroom "unfinished" and I do not mind to see all the concrete and structural woods as I am planning to paint them and keep it that way. I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you so much. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gJJ...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Izr...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n8M...ew?usp=sharing |

That was over 40 years ago and shower is still in great shape. |

Keep i mind, there is a reason bathrooms are constructed the way they are. Leaving things open can lead to moisture infiltration and rot of structural pieces, as well as mold that is unhealthy. |

It looks like plywood that's showing, what's above that? Seems odd that they would put up plywood and then sheetrock over it. Also I see electrical cable that you're going to have to deal with and what's the electrical contraption on the wall? Regarding leaving it unfinished, you might want to check code as to what's allowed for bathrooms and showers, especially if you intend to sell the place some day. |

The bathroom is under the front porch. I am not worry about the code. The house is very small old and I do not think it has any value as a house only the land. The new owner would build a new one |

Thank you for your reply. I see your very good points but finishing the bathroom did not help to keep the structural pieces safe. I see rotten woods and rusty metals. I thought I would open everything, paint it with oil-based and that would keep the safe from water and the place would dry out faster. Thank you again |

I don't see the point in taking it down, unless you're sure what you expose is going to look better as is. |

Sounds like that should be investigated and if there is no insulation, then that's reason to remove the plywood that's there and put insulation in. Could possibly do a drop ceiling after that.

Usually when you see stuff that doesn't make sense, there is more that was done that's wrong too. I wonder what condition this was all in before starting the renovation?

It looks like it's probably not even in use. The cables run near it, not in it. I do see something that looks like big conduit at the top left? Maybe a transformer in the bottom left? Hard to tell from the pics, maybe Leza knows. |

I do not want drywalls. Now I see in the roof a wood (please see attached pictures / links). What is this used for? Can I remove it. I want the bathroom "unfinished" and I do not mind to see all the concrete and structural woods as I am planning to paint them and keep it that way. I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you so much. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gJJ...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Izr...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n8M...ew?usp=sharing These do not open for me, get a caption they are in owners trash... Opened earlier but not now. |
