Since buying this house, we've gained lots of rich experiences and emptied our pockets several times over. Some projects have gone very well (e.g., backyard remodel) and some have been less successful. Our biggest disaster to date has been the master bathroom, which we started a year ago. Since our master bathroom is connected to the master bedroom, we moved to another room last April.
After a rocky start, an incompetent contractor and some money gone down the drain, we paused the project. Both of us were so frustrated that we closed the door to the master bedroom and didn't look back. We realized that this other room where we moved into was not all that bad and really, who needs a master bedroom and a real closet and a master bathroom? What's wrong with the "kids" bathroom and its orange walls? There's water there too, you know.
But after many months, we eventually opened that door and decided to re-tackle the project. Tony helped us define the work scope more tightly, Colin found a great contractor - a true professional this time around - and the project has been moving ahead nicely. We hope to have everything done (bathroom and closet) by end of this month. And if we're so lucky, we'll actually move back to our bedroom! For that special occasion, we plan to even buy a king-sized bed!
