Water Leak

January 18, 2008

Trev is putting in a new bathroom upstairs for the 2 older boys. Everything was going fairly well except for my husband’s frustration at not being able to walk into one store and purchase everything he needs for the job. Well you know nothing can ever be that easy.   We had looked into getting Bathfitters to come in and put a new cover on the existing bathtub. The estimate came in at almost 3300 dollars. Don’t they adverstise they can give you a new bathroom quickly and at a fraction of the cost? Well our current estimate is a new bathtub, drywall, paint, sink and vanity, toilet and floors for right around 2500.  Of course the disadvantage to that is doing all the work yourself.   Trev is trying to install the new shower fixtures and just went downstairs and turned on the water, which caused something to burst up in the bathroom so he went running back down to the basement to turn the water main back off and something burst down there too…   Did you ever watch the Cosby Show in the 80’s? Next time you see Trev, feel free to call him Cliff. Not that I mind. I think both of us can take the stress over the money we would have to pay to hire someone to come in to get a new bathroom. And hey, practice makes perfect right? We have 2.5 more bathrooms we want to redo in this house eventually so he should almost be a journeyman plumber by that time     Oh ya I will post some pics of the new bathroom once it is complete.
