The bathroom redo went pretty well, and it got done pretty quickly. We did have a couple of oopses though…
The first oops we initially blamed on buying inexpensive stuff. The old sink actually screwed onto the vanity. The new one doesn’t. So it just sort of floats. When someone forcibly knocks into it, it moves. We had a broken drain pipe in just a few days.
Turns out that there is this silicone sealant you’re supposed to use to hold the sink in place. Who knew?
Second oops –
We had gotten a taller medicine cabinet. If we had stuck with the light bar with the round bulbs, that would not have mattered. But, we got a nice fixture that had 3 shades that hung down.
When he went to install it, the shades would not fit above the cabinet. Ugh!
So then he went and picked a different one. It goes perfectly with the more masculine look of the room.
Problem is… it won’t hang straight.
Now we had seen some that were designed to hang cockeyed, but this was not one of them. We’re going to pretend it is 😉 Just call it modern design and be done with it, right?
Now, all of the stuff we put in was inexpensive. Not very high quality. But it looks a whole lot better. When he decides to redo the tub and surround – we’ll see what he wants to do then. It wasn’t a lot of money, and it makes a big difference.
One son said he can’t remember it ever looking that good.
It may not be perfect, but I’d call the project a success.
OK, we do have to do something about that floor…
Nothing is ever really done, is it?
Next room up – the dining room.
