The project is finished! Wanna see some pictures? They’re not of the best quality since I took them last night with an old digital camera by bil gave me ten years ago. No, I don’t have a smart phone with a camera. I got a camera with my flip phone but I don’t know about the quality of the pictures or how to transfer them and I’m too lazy to try to figger it out. You can click on the pictures to enlarge them. I also shrunk them down before posting them so they won’t go too much bigger than they are.
Roll under sink for the crip so I can use it in my wheelchair. Also got a medicine cabinet and some side drawers. Nice granite counter top. You can see the new mirror with a brushed nickel frame. Was originally gonna get a beveled glass mirror but the project manager dropped the ball and it would have taken another three weeks. This was the fall back plan.
Existing garden tub with new tile around it and new brush nickel faucet with a handheld spray feature. The fixture I really wanted had a telephone feature to put the spray on it but that wouldn’t work with the holes already drilled and would require a new tub. It was expensive as hell so it was just as well. The tile around the tub is the exact same tile that is on the floor.
New granite shower with the reflection of the light fixtures on the opposite wall. Got a grab bar to aid in getting out of the shower. My sister selected the light fixtures. The boxes they came in said to install them pointing up but the picture on the web had them pointing down which I think looks better. Each fixture has three bulbs in them, which would mean nine bulbs total for the three fixtures. For some reason I only bought six bulbs. Brain fart. CRS syndrome. The project manager just installed three more bulbs gratis. They’re all LED bulbs so they’ll prolly outlive me.
The other vanity with granite counter top.
I had the room painted blue and it goes real well with the granite and the tile. I inaugurated the shower this morning. I brushed my teeth and shaved at the new sink.
I had them install new grab bars for the toilet. The old grab bars were given to me by a friend and her father installed them. They weren’t all that good and her father only did a fair installation job. They lasted almost seventeen years so it wasn’t all that bad. The new grab bars are the industrial strength ones that you see in hotels. The nice thing about these is I don’t have to put my chair right up against the molding so I shouldn’t screw it up like I used to.
Still to come, a towel warmer and a small bath rug to put right outside the shower so my chair wheels get a better purchase on the floor for my shower transfers.
By the way, these guys do real good work. I had no problem with the worker bees. It was the project manager. The owner of the business is a super dude as well. Once he got involved, things happened quickly. Yes, I prolly will hire them for my bedroom project next year. One of the techs told me to request the other project manager for that project if I do hire them. This company has a real good reputation, has a good rating with the BBB and is on Angie’s List.
