Razz: It is removed fairly easily. My husband has had to do so a couple of time for faucet repairs.Quote:

Much better than spending 10k for a tile walk in where they have to move plumbing.
Now I see the picture... beautiful and functional! I really like that. Great job, Alan.
Now I see it Alan, thanks....genius!!
That is really a positive solution in more ways than one - save money and get what you want.Quote:

No kids allowed to live at my condo or big dogs:)). I bathe the dogs in the kitchen sink. My son just said he thinks I should pay to have it installed since they are less likely to break the tile and can carry away the old stuff. I will get estimates for that.
my last foster was a 30 lb. Miss who fit into our kitchen sink. It is Nice when they do.Quote:

Building is over 40 years old and the tub is original.
How nifty is that!Quote:

Still need to hang curtain rods, towel bars, chandeliers, pictures, etc. My son is a huge help and will do that stuff. He had trouble getting our internet and tv working. I bought a chandelier and 2 lamps with individual crystals so that will take awhile to put together. It’s a quiet place and the dogs are adjusting well. I have a nice view of the courtyard and most units can’t see my balcony. I only have a neighbor on one side.
I have 3 closets and gave my son half of one. Everything fits with no issues. My entrance closet is huge and deep. Half is coats, cleaning supplies, etc and the other half is shelves for food. I put a shelving unit in there as I took out all the upper cabinets. The built in hutch in the dining room really helps. Pigeons sat on my balcony light and pooped while the unit was empty. It’s hard like cement. Ugh! I installed pigeon spikes on the light. Will also put on the railing.
My couch that was expensive and only 2 years old wouldn’t come up the stairs. The halls and lobby only have 7 ft ceilings so that’s a problem. Only people on the first floor get couches in. Everyone else gets a loveseat or sectional. I had to pay the movers to take it back to the house. Ugh! The buyers were happy to get it. I am exhausted but happy to have it behind me.
Sorry about the couch but so glad the new owners can use it. Can't wait to see pictures.
Enjoy your new sanctuary and home, TT. Everything will find its right place in the space. Glad to hear that the little 4-legged occupants are settling in.
Sigh of relief for getting closure to the last stage! Onwards for enjoying your new, simple space.
CONGRATS TT!!!!!:cool:
Congrats, TT! Welcome home!!!!
I slept 12 hours last night. My son said he was beginning to wonder if I was dead:)).
Your dogs would have been wondering as well no doubt.
I got up after 6 hours to potty all of us and then back to bed for another 6 hours.
It must feel good to be settled into your new home, so happy for you!
Sigh. The satisfaction of a job well done.
Now you're home and the next chapter starts.
Dining room and kitchen with the top cabinets gone. Attachment 3763Attachment 3763
Definitely opens up the space. Looks good. The dining light fixture is neat.
Thanks Razz. I also bought a table lamp with crystals and a pole lamp for my bedroom with them. They all give off a ton of light.
the openness without the top cabinets is really, really nice!
Yes! No upper cabinets, good job TT. I likee.
When my bed and crystal knobs come for my bedroom and it’s all set up I will post a picture. There’s a big closet when you first walk in for coats, and I only have 2. I put shelves in and keep food, paper products, etc in there.
Conversely, we have the World’s Smallest Coat Closet in Hermann. It is funny, it is so tiny.Quote:

We visited 3 different Lowes stores, quite an UGH day.
IL, I am getting fancy in my old age:)). My taste has changed a lot. My son loves the chandelier and lamp. My 2 coats would fit in your closet. The condo has 3 closets but they are big.
I am hung up on the two coats thing. What do they look like? How warm are they? When do you wear each?Quote:

Gosh, that sounds really nice!
Hmmm, I should count my coats. There are a lot more than two!
