For years, we've been talking about the bathroom off of our bedroom and how we need to update it. THIS was going to be the summer!
The worst feature is the corner shower which is scary beyond all belief - unless you've lived in Africa. Then it becomes a desire to replace it, not a necessity. Over this past week, we've had to remind ourselves of that SEVERAL times!
We were looking at doing it ourselves until Sam (details on the next post) . . . Our first estimate came in between $12,000-$14,000, depending on if we wanted brushed nickel or chrome. FOR. JUST. A. SHOWER!!! Our second estimate was even higher - $18,000 for brushed nickel and not much lower for chrome. The third estimate we honestly thought was an installer coming to talk with us about doing it, but it was just another salesperson. We didn't even hear his pitch! We sent him home.
We can not justify spending more on a desire that costs more than our car! Oh, the things we could do with that amount of money . . . but it's doubtful it's a shower this year! I considered a "Go Fund Me" page for a bit, but now I'm working on contentment.
Who knows? The first offer is sending us the "boss" on Monday to give us an "offer we just can't refuse!"
Odds are, we might just be able to!
