Floor Plan

· by Mr. Me · Home Improvement

If you're an avid reader of my blog (or is that rabid?) you're probably going to get tired of reading about my basement finishing project over the next four months.  Yep, both of you.

This afternoon, our General Contractor is bring CAD drawings of the floor plan to our home and we're going to make adjustments that we need and the the floor plan will be finalized.

One small problem we have is that we're putting a full bathroom in the basement.  The bathtub/shower surround will be up against a window.  The window has plain old normal see-through glass in it.  There's nothing like showering in full view of the neighbors, no?

Back when my oldest son was born I worked for a window manufacturing plant, so one of my "skills" is that I can replace glass in vinyl windows.  I called today with measurements and all things considered (like double-sided tape and a pair of rubberized gloves so I don't need stitches later), I can replace the glass myself for less than $100.  At my next meeting, I'll find out what the contractor will charge to replace the window.  If it's enough of a difference, I'll just do it myself.

It's exciting though!  They're starting work in just over two weeks!
