Ever since we moved up here, we have wanted to “do” the main bathroom. We have been talking about what we want - a whirlpool tub was on my list. B had a very modern sink and faucet on his. We both agreed the need to remove the carpet and put in a tile floor. Finding someone to do the job was the big problem. We have had difficulty finding contractors who return our calls. B had the great idea to contact our real estate guy to see if he had a recommendation for an electrician as we were having an electrical problem two weeks ago. Wow, one call and the electrician shows up the next day and solves the problem. We asked him for a quote to do some additional work and also talked about the bathroom. He knew someone who could help us and the two of them came by last week. We felt so positive about it that even without a quote we headed to Lowe’s and Home Depot to order everything we would need. The contractor said he would be by Friday with the quote. When he came yesterday morning he told us if we wanted he would start right away by ripping everything out. GREAT! I quickly emptied the vanity and closet and they got to work. They called us in to see the bath area - it had two layers of tile on the wall! (top picture) Strange. By 3:00 they were done and the room was gutted. They will be back Monday. In the meantime, much of what we ordered is in and B will hopefully be able to get one of his brothers to help him pick up the tub, toilet and cabinet tomorrow. The tile will be in on Monday and so it appears we are all set! Fast when you find someone who is responsive.
Not much left so we are ready to go Monday!
