Found a contractor to finish my bathroom


I found a contractor to finish my bathroom for the cost of labor. It's about $2000 which isn't bad. My bathroom has ended up being more expensive than I expected it to be.
However, I am glad I began the project and will be gladder when the bathroom is finally done. I am still waiting for this to happen.

2009 Federal Taxes completed

My 2009 Federal Taxes are done! I am quite amazed by how efficient I was. Of course the IRS won't except e-file until Jan 17, 2010, but I dont' mind the time lag. I can wait.

I hope to get my pittance of a refund in Feb 2010. Even a pittance is welcome these days.

Drywall inspection approved!


My drywall inspection was approved by the Inspector! So, now I only need to wait for the final inspection. Yeah! The inspector arrived earlier in the morning and did his inspection at 9:03 a.m. The inspector was very efficient.

If my contractors arrive this weekend ... I am set! Yeah! To have the bathroom completed is awesome. One major project out of the way.

Next Stage in the Bathroom ...


The shower stall is the next step in my bathroom. I am hoping it will fit in with ease ... but sometimes things don't work as well as one would wish them too. Sigh. Wish me luck on this project. I am counting down until the contractors arrive.

Drywall Inspection

Did you know that bathrooms need GREEN drywall in them? I didn't. My bathroom now has green drywall in it, and all I need to do is schedule inspection. Hopefully the inspector will sign off - I can get my next batch of contractors and they will finish the bathroom fairly quickly.

If you have bathroom remodeling stories or idea - please feel free to share them with me.
