Bathroom Remodel 2


It sure takes a lot of work before progress is really seen. I had no idea it would take so long to do all new plumbing, of course in my mind I was just thinking more cosmetic when it came to remodeling. Dennis was smart in thinking beyond that and wanting all new plumbing. I will be grateful for that in the years ahead. And...redoing the plumbing wasn't just confined to the bathroom. It included the half bath and laundry on the other side of the the wall, and the utility room directly underneath in the basement.

Dennis got some tile from his mom and dad when we were visiting them right after Thanksgiving. He got just enough for the floor and we have been trying to find something to go with it for the shower. We found one tile that sorta went, but the only thing that made it doable was the decorative squares and for just 20 pieces that would have cost over $140.00 and that did not include the so-so tile. He really wanted the tile he got from his dad, but realized it wasn't going to work unless he took a drive to Arizona. So today we looked at other choices and found something that we both liked.

We still have yet to settle on a wood floor for the hallway. Apparently it is not so important now as it was last week to know the depth of the wood floor. I don't understand all of it. Hopefully Steve knows what he is doing.

Can't wait to see what fun things they will work on today. From here on out I will actually see the "cosmetic" changes.
