What started with a leaky shower in our very small master bathroom turned into first a bathroom remodel once we assessed the damage and then "since we have the contractor here...." has turned into new floors in four rooms rooms (both bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen) , new kitchen countertops (butcher block so they'll be relatively inexpensive) and paint in the affected areas.
I won't show "before" pics of the bathroom because it's embarrassing. We've needed to redo it since we bought the house but other things took precedence (roof, water heater, exterior remodel due to age and water damage, landscaping due to dangerous pipe cut off and left in the lawn like Vietcong tiger traps, building my teaching studio, a host of smaller repairs, etc) but now we're stuck doing it before I go back to school and I'm not around to supervise and manage the dogs (who are losing their shit at this very moment). Luckily I found a buyer for my truck which is covering most of the expense and we had some other cash put away towards doing this but fuck this has been an expensive summer.
