Renovating the main bath: Part 6 - Completion

It feels good. It feels really good to be done with the bathroom project. It's nice to just finally take a step back and look at everything that was done and know I don't have to work on it anymore ... I hope. The best part, is that it's completely done before Ben and Steph come up for the NCAA tournament. We'll actually have something to show off instead of saying, "please excuse the mess." Personally, I think Christi is more pumped to have her hallway back. It was kind of my catch-all place to dump all of my tools and extra things that I needed for the project.

A few people have looked at the before pictures and said the previous bathroom was in pretty good shape. While true, it didn't have a tiled floor and it was a lot of fun to just go out on whim and completely demo something without really knowing what I was getting myself into. It was a great learning experience if nothing else.

Now it's time to fill up on water and come over to, err, try out the new bathroom. If you want to just look from afar, here's what was done:

Over view picture.

The floating shelf that actually floats, as opposed to falling.

The new faucet.

Now do a cost comparison and show us how much you saved vs. hiring someone to do it.

I read somewhere that a bathroom of our size in the Northeast, without a tub, costs anywhere between $8000-10000 for someone to professionally remodel.

With that in mind, and minus the cost of the tile cutter, Christi and I saved somewhere between $7000-9000.
