BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Home Improvement Lots of work to do

They told me 3 weeks - longer than most bathroom renos because of having to move the wall. Its been almost 1 week now, so another 2 & I'll have a bathroom again, but much better than what I had before.

3 weeks...that seems like a long time! But it will all be worth it later.

Hey Mavis - how's it going with the bathroom? What's happening in there? I need details, girl! Only about a week to go, right? Are you getting excited or is it too soon to tell? I hope everything is on track.

I hope you have another bathroom Mavis and ya'll aren't having to use a portapotty!

The bathroom is coming along nicely.

The wall has been moved and the tub & toilet have now been installed. The tub surround is almost done, so we're just waiting for the sink and a bit of finishing in the room, plus a bit of fixup on the dining room ceiling since it was damaged when they replaced the old cast iron stack. I think it should be finished in a couple of days.

I have a sink & toilet in my basement and since I work at the Y, I can shower at work so I'm doing ok here.

There was a delay of one day because the sidewalk crew poured the concrete and blocked them off from coming on Thursday (even though the guy I talked to assured me that wouldn't happen). But at least I have a wonderful sidewalk now.

Here is the sidewalk progression - 1st my gravel sidewalk.


next my gravel sidewalk with the steps that I just built.


then my new sidewalk with my new steps!

Looks great Mavis! I bet you are so excited about having this stuff done. What style is your house? I remember you said it was about 100 yrs (mine is too).

LOL - I have no idea what you would call this house as far as style. Its a 1 1/2 story little house.

update:

My bathroom is finished!
I now have a full working bathroom - with all new fixtures - new ceiling - new floor - new walls - huge storage space - new light fixture. It is wonderful!

This weekend, I paint my dining room ceiling and walls and hopefully soon there will be more workers in my house fixing the floors and putting down new flooring.

Congratulations Mavis! Sounds like you are having better luck with workers than I am!

I had great luck with this company. They are also doing my floors and the exterior painting, so I hope those jobs go just as smoothly.
