My Bathroom Remodeling Story… AKA “Costly Expense”!!

I was thinking about what I wanted to write about today and thought it would be a good idea to tell everyone about one of my “great idea” projects. This is a bathroom remodeling story that will hopefully shed some light and wisdom for the non-handyman out there that may think they are handyman!

We bought a new house about 3 ½ years ago and wanted to redo the bathroom. It was just a plain jane white bathroom with white tiles and gold fixtures and shower door, not the best thing on the eyes to say the least. There are 2 guys in my family (brother and brother-in-law) who think they are pretty handy when it comes to anything. For the most part they are however when this project was over I would have taken their licenses away from them if they were in fact professional contractors!

In a nutshell we took out the shower door and decided to build a wall where you would not need a door anyway… what were we thinking?!?!?!?! We also ripped out all the shower tile and the floor tile and replaced it with slate so the entire bathroom was slate (dark slate in a not very big bathroom)… another what were we thinking!! By the time the project was coming to the end we were so lazy that we did not clean wipe up the grout good enough. Soooooo my bathroom looked like it was done by my 3 ½ year old… and did I mention that because we did not “protect” the slate good enough in the shower it looked like ghosts died on our walls because of all of the soap stains!!

People if you do not know what you are doing please do not attempt a bathroom remodeling project with out the help of professionals… not family members but PROFESSIONALS!! I am trying to save you $7,500 (what it cost me to have it redone by a professional). Check out bathroom remodeling pros and get quotes here.

Cheers – Barc

P.S. I will try to find some before and after picture to give you a better idea of what I am talking about so check back for the updated pictures.
