Because I've been doing a massive master bathroom project!
I refinanced my house in July and got about $10k in Equity out.
The upstairs of my house is only partially the size of the downstairs. Its just 2 rooms, you walk up the stairs into one room, then walk through a door into the master bedroom. Its a 110 year old house and only has 1 bathroom. With just me and 3 girls in the house....I'd like to poop in peace for a change.
So....
First thing we did was install a mini-split AC unit, because I'm sick of a window AC.
Its 12,000 BTU. Cost me $700 on amazon. My contractor actually installed it for free, because I was willing to wait a week to kick off the bathroom project while he finished up another job. Took me and him about 4 hours to install.
For the bathroom, we had 2 closets, one in each room, that were back to back. The one in our bedroom was too narrow to even hang clothes in.
Knocked that out
Framed in the bathroom
You can see my boat somewhere under all the materials piled up in my garage
Last Friday my contractor no-showed. Turns out he'd twisted his back real bad, fell to the ground, and crushed his phone.
Saturday morning he texted me and explained. Asked me to go ahead and buy some drywall and take it off the bill, and get rockboard down
I'm getting about a $15,000 bathroom for about $8,000 because I'm doing a lot of the labor. Its been fun, plus my contractor guy is super nice and is just thrilled to have someone to teach how to do stuff. He's shown me all kinds of cool tricks.
He also gave me a 100 amp breaker box to replace the ancient 100 amp fused sub panel I had in my garage.
And tossed in enough wire and a box that I was able to put a 30 amp hookup for my camper in the backyard!
Today we cut the floor tile
Here's me on the porch roof cutting tile.
Super happy with how it came out
Tomorrow we mortar it in place and install the heated floor kit.
I'm HOPING to be done by the 30th, because thats what deer season starts here in Ohio.
This bad boy keeps showing up on my trail cams
And I'd love to get some sauger fishing in before its too cold.
