Mini bathroom remodel

[dewdopsinwv]

MontyJ and I have a bathroom vanity we were going to use in the other house, well to make a long story short, we scrapped the idea of the "other property remodel" Since we have a brand new vanity next door, and ours in this place is junk, I'd like to use it here. I'm thinking about painting the bathroom and doing a few "touch ups"
after MontyJ gets the new vanity installed. LOL he will find this out when he reads this post.

That sounds like a great idea! And yes, if you put in a new vanity you might as well do a bit to the rest of the room as well. You know, in for a penny and all that You must take some before and after pics for us.

Yup, we must see pics!!!

 

[dewdopsinwv]

Of course there will be pics of before and after. Cant do a mini remodel with out the pics....it's just un-amercian lol

O.K. so you're getting a new vanity fitted, a repaint, what else are you planning?

 

[dewdopsinwv]

I'm thinking about taking the old mirror down and sanding it to re-paint it. The bathroom just needs a little face lift. I have new sconce lights I was going to use in another project we were planning, but since that got canned, might as well use them.

When it comes to plumbing, prevention is way easier and less costly than repairs. A few basic tips should always be kept in mind while plumbing in your house. Minor plumbing problems if not handled properly can turn into a plumbing catastrophe. Plumbing services of only expert or licensed plumbers should be taken.

I guess we fit into the expert side. The licensed plumber we hired (City requirement) had over half his joints leaking when he'd finished, and the first runs went through the space we TOLD HIM TO LEAVE EMPTY for the heating ducts. DH re-routed the duct runs and fixed all but the three worst joints. Then called the professional back to fix them.

This house we plumbed ourselves nearly 40 years ago and have had zero leaks or problems other than a couple of new faucets.

Wow 40 years! That's a long years already. our pipes only lasted 22 years. When we checked the pipes underneath, its all covered with rust and others are having a leak.

Welcome to Remodel @davison I was thinking I should hire/bribe Smart Red and her husband to come help me with any plumbing jobs I need doing from now on

Thanks Sumi. Plumbing jobs can be tricky sometimes that's why its important to hire the expert.
