That said, the house must be sold. As Cortez did in 1519, we too, shall burn our ships.
Of course, sold "as is" will attract less cash than with a good remodeling. Luckily, the big one, the kitchen, was accomplished a few years ago. But, if I learned anything from HGTV, the bathrooms are just as important to a buyer. So, to better entice a buyer, I have started the first bathroom remodel.
New paint on the walls...basically same colors as before. New sink, and new commode. Just a spruce-up, really. But, of course...nothing is easy. Thought I had everything ready, but when I went to get the roller prepared for the walls, the old roller tube was stuck to the actual roller. There's a lesson here; clean your equipment when you are done. That left me with spackling, sanding, and painting the areas around the ceiling and trim...all set for rolling. Have to head out and grab that now.
I ordered the sink online at HomeDepot.com. Got free shipping, too, since what I ordered was over $249. Here it is...
The toilet is a white toilet...not much to talk about there. Neither matches the 1985 yellow shower stall, but, guess what...not changing it. A nice curtain will hide that.
Tomorrow, I need to add one more piece of wainscoting that we never attached. (Didn't want to take off the sink and toilet 9 years ago!) Then, I become a plumber...
and when the sink comes in, actually hook the new sink up to the pipes...I think I can handle it...really. How hard can it be?
Not hard, you can do it. Now they have those new snap on fittings. - Pam
