We both came straight home from work tonight, to meet with our contractor. I call him our contractor, as he renovated our kitchen two years ago, and we decided then, that we would call on him for future home improvement projects. As the kids have left home, we have been doing a project at a time – the laminate floor, a new roof, our deck, a new furnace, our kitchen. This year we will concentrate on the bathroom. We have lived in the house twenty-two years, and it’s time.

Mr. B. came and listened to our wish list, took measurements, and gave us some suggestions. We want a new tub/shower, toilet, vanity and sink, paint, and floor tile. I was concerned that we would have to make some quick decisions, but his schedule is full, and it will be September before he can begin. That is fine with us, as it will give us time to chose styles and colors. We also need time to figure out how we will spend five days without access to our one and only bathroom.

It will be an adventure.

Hi Jan – What a lovely blog you have here. It looks like I’ll have to take the time to read more of your posts. We have been doing much of the same around here with our house. We took on a much needed project with remodeling our family room last summer/fall. And we still, unfortunately, have a couple of rooms left to remodel, and one of them is our main bathroom. Fortunately, when we do get started we will still have our master bath, which we will probably have to share with our adult kids who are living here at home. But hopefully it would be only a short time to “live without.” ;o) I am going to add you to my reader so I can keep up with your posts. And thanks again for visiting my blog. Come back soon.

How exciting – glad you have some time to plan. We did a lot this past 8 months and I found it easiest to do in stages. Have a bit left but I’m not rushing it.
