Don't you love that it costs twice---if not three times---what you originally planned on??? We've only been doing it for about 8 years since our general contractor is my pa and he only gets around to doing something when he has time (which is never cuz he's a busy guy) and so...little by little. But everything we HAVE gotten done is so great that it makes it worth it.<BR/><BR/>Your golden (as in expensive. That's what we say around here) bathroom is beautiful, though.

Just to let you know I had equal management status the first couple of years we were married but it soon became very obvious that she wanted the senior position much more than I did. It was actually a liberating experience when I relinquished equal status. I have no regrets 17 years later. Unca might be able to relate to this too.<BR/><BR/>Unca, a sliding door was not an option because after the doors slide open there wouldn’t be enough room to comfortably get in & out of the shower. The shower guy demonstrated the awkward movement it would take to enter and exit the shower and then he said to my wife “plus your husband is a fairly big guy”. I am sure that skinny little runt was talking about my muscular physic. Plus there was some CA code that says you have to have a certain length for sliding doors and another code that restricts a door from opening into the shower just in case you fall in the shower against the door it would be hard to open the door to rescue the person especially if that person is a muscular guy like me. .Blogballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075645415795441980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9874179.post-80498208721895528792007-07-11T06:39:00.000-07:002007-07-11T06:39:00.000-07:00I enjoyed this post very much.

Now, in all seriousness, I don't understand: "It turns out that our new improved shower complete with a bench so my wife can shave her legs was too close to the toilet for any shower doors known to man to function properly. The only option was a shower curtain or to move the toilet." This statement makes sense if you're going to have a swing-open type door but not if you were to install a sliding door. In any case, I would have gone with the curtain. Also, I shave my legs without the need for a special bench.uncahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953081987726436269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9874179.post-71112232551515969372007-07-11T05:28:00.000-07:002007-07-11T05:28:00.000-07:00Brilliant.
