So for xmas I wanted to do something nice for my mom. I wanted to get her bathroom remodeled but it's very costly to get a bath remodeled in NY. So I made it happen.

I rented an RV, schudeled for my boyfriend to do the work (since he does this kind of stuff for a living) purchased all the materials here to atlanta and had it shipped to NY. The RV was a good decision since it took him 4 days to complete the job, otherwise I would be peeing in the backyard LOL. He could of done more but ran out of time.

Anyways here are some of the before and after pics.

I don't "remodeled" is the word. Looks like he re-tiled it and changed the shower head. Looks like good work but far from a remodel, lol.

The word remodel means changed or make new. So I would consider it a remodel. He demolished the existing walls and put up cemet boards on the floor and walls. :goodjob:

I would know since I work for a construction company :D

If all the walls were replaced with greenboard or cement backerboard and tiled then I'd consider it a remodel...maybe not a complete renovation but at least somewhat of a remodel.

Perhaps we have a different idea of a remodel. A remodel to me wouldn't be keeping the old sink or faucet knobs, countertops, cabinets and toilet.

Nice gift regardless.

Yes he does, he can do almost anything except plumbing and electrical work. He's on IA I think his SN is silverGTI or something like that :D

As a matter fact it is.. if your my rep I wanna kick your butt. ;) I had so much trouble ordering from them through my company *hmph*

First it took me calling him 4 times just to process my order. Then when all the materials arrived at their store, no one called me to let me know so I could make payment. So it sat there for another week before I called them and asked. Then when I made payment they delivered it and left it in the middle of the street.

So I ordered $1,000 worth of tile and was still treated with poor customer service. I ordered tile for my company all the time, now I remebered why I switched to specialty tile for our tile products.
