Now there's a request you don't get every day...

"Hey, can you send me pictures of your toilet?"

Actually, George has done a lot of work for me. I met him by fixing his computer and every time I went to his house, he had some part of it re-modeled. He said it was fun! So, long story short, that is what he does now and he is all licensed, bonded and insured and doing it professionally. He has done our kitchen and hallway floors, remodeled my office with tile and counter tops, completely tore down our master bedroom bathroom and rebuilt it, turned a vanity area into a linen closet, put a ceiling fan in a room that had no light and wasn't wired for a light, he fixed my doorbell which has been broken for around 15 years, and I'm sure we had him do some other stuff, but I can't think of it at the moment.


This is what the bathroom looked like originally:

Then George and I got to tearing it down (check out that green linoleum floor from 1973! It took George about 3 days of hammering and chiseling to get that floor up and then he had to sand it and wash it to get it ready for tile. A LOT OF WORK!):
Image

Then I left George alone to rebuild it - starting with a new shower:
Image

After George re-drywalled the room, he suggested we use some of the wall as a cabinet. I said sure! This is what he did next:

This is George admiring his own work:

Next, he textured and painted the walls:

Then he started on the tile:

The doors on the in-wall cabinet look great and you'd never know it was there when the bathroom door is open - even Jake is checking it out. If you're wondering where the bathroom door is, George had not yet re-hung it in this picture.
Image

There's the new door! Note in the picture how high up the shower head is. I had George move the light fixture and the shower head WAY up (I hate low hanging shower heads...):
Image

Image

And there you have the finished transformation with a new sink, faucet, shower, all new fixtures, new towel bar, new low-flush toilet that acutally works (unlike other low flush toilets) that I purchased on Georges recommendation, new bathroom door, all fixtures from the door handle, to the hinges to the faucet and the light switch is all done in brushed-nickel.

I found his prices to be quite reasonable when you consider the time and care he takes on each project. He doesn't just slap stuff together and ask for a check. He takes a lot of pride in what he does.

The waterbed is not for sale... it has special magic powers, or it could just be me...
