Bathroom Renovation Project to begin shortly

Update from the future:  This post sat in my drafts folder while I worked on other things, namely finding and ordering tile.  Our contractor completed demo and has done everything he can do until the tile arrives, hopefully soon. 

We are about to embark on a project we do not want to do but desperately need to do: renovate our master bathroom.  It has gotten to a point where it's only gonna get worse if we don't fix the issues now, and we want to enjoy it for a bit before we sell this place.  There is an assumption that we will sell this place, and it is one thing that keeps my will to live going.

To be sure, this should be an exciting, fun thing that we should want to do.  However, it isn't because this family only has one income, and it is stretched thin.

We could just replace the shower, but that still leaves the Jacuzzi bathtub unusable.  And our vanity is very outdated and looks just terrible.  Basically, it's almost a full gut rehab with the exception of the His/her Walk-in Closets.  Have I mentioned that this is the best bedroom-bathroom combo I've ever lived in?

 

FYI my contractor is rather annoyed that we don't have our tile yet.  I'm not too upset about it because when we first approached him, he did that thing people do to get customers to light a fire under their butt and commit.  He said he had a project in early August and would like to get us in before then. 

I knew he was blowing smoke up our butts but Nightingale kinda bought it and also wanted to get everything purchased before the next round of Tariffs increased prices.  However, we just didn't have the bandwidth to check out tile until the weekends and there is a learning curve.
