Bathrooms are done...well, almost.

So the bathroom nightmare is over! Well, at least the guy who was working on the bathrooms is gone. There are a few loose ends, but I'm super happy to say this trial has passed. I'm very happy with the quality of the work up until just about a week before it was over. I fired the guy because he accused me of shorting him pay when I had already 100% of his bid and work wasn't even finished. It was an ugly argument and Mike told me later that he came outside when he heard me screaming to make sure the guy wasn't going to hit me. I know, I know I gotta be nicer, but I blew up when he accused me of owing him money, when I'm super honest. I can't stand stuff like that, don't mess with my honesty!! He came back a few days later when someone else was about to finish the project and said he was sorry but then he never did anything quite the same. Eventually I told him that whatever was not done by such date was going to be done by me. Thus the few loose ends. As usual in remodels/costruction, I ended up paying double for the work done, but I got the bathrooms I wanted.

I've been dying to post these but I've wanted to have all the accessories in place. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find small square shadow boxes to put the sand dollars and starfish I bought in Florida and then put up the surfing frames I had in Isey's room in Saratoga.
So without further ado, I unveil the bathrooms:
