Bathroom Remodel - In Progress

We have a master bath remodel ongoing - 11 days and counting.  Just a bit left and we're done.  Normally we would not spend this kind of money but I was at the point where I could not take a shower very often; I had to step over a 14" high by 5" wide lip of our garden tub in order to take a shower.  Due to my two kinds of vertigo, it was becoming very difficult as well as dangerous ( I have almost fallen several times).  So, we now have a walk-in shower with a 4" by 4" step over.  The floor has also been replaced with tile that matches the shower as the flooring was stained from previous (former owners) leaking as well as a tear (from my vanity chair).  The large window in the shower was removed due to evidence of leaking.  Our contractor found mold all down that wall and around each corner.  Everything was replaced, a small sliding window was added above where water cannot get to it from the shower.  We are also painting all the wood: cabinet, medicine chest, and frame around mirror and have added a new counter and sink.  We will also be painting the room itself.  When it is all complete I will post the before and after photos.  Can hardly wait.  The shower is absolutely gorgeous.  It is costing us about half of what it would normally cost as our contractor is the same person who does all our work around here and has done so since we moved here 6.5 years ago.

****Annual Physical went very well.  Have kept off 21 pounds, blood pressure is excellent - working on more.  Awaiting blood test results.****
