BathRoom Renovation - Day Fifteen



Shopping Day! The demolition is complete. The subfloor has been rebuilt and the back wall has been built from scratch. The next steps entail plumbing, electrical and installing the tub. That meant buying the tub. Trip to Home Depot. Tub -- $278.00 American Standard Princeton (an enamel something mix which promises a quieter, warmer, more comfortable bath as well as a scratch / chip resistant finish.) Tub/shower faucet -- $158.00 in brush nickel. We had to call Lowes to find out if the sink faucet was brushed or shiny. Toilet -- $228.00 Geez, all the choices in toilets... apparently there is a grading system, we wanted a bathroom with a grading of a '10'. Plus some plumbing supplies. Bath drain itself was $45.00. A total of $800.00 spent today. Plus $544 in tile spent earlier and $150 in wood and insulation brings our materials and supplies to $1500. Labor to date is about 60 hours at $55/hour equaling $3300 in labor costs.
