Getting a New Bathroom

Since the day we moved in to this home sweet home, we’ve been having a few things that we wanted to change eventually.
One of them were our Master Bathroom.

It is an awkward L shape space opens to our master bedroom. there’s no door in front of vanity/sink, but a tiny door to the toilet/shower area. The biggest problem was that it is a very tight squeeze between toilet and door when you try to close. Oh, and of course, we had long past era’s square light blue tile around the wall, and white and blue mosaic floors. SWMBO never liked those screaming 70’s tiles, and I wanted to have a bathtub instead of shower. and both wanted to do something with the tight door… So when we start having a few tiles getting loose at the bottom of the shower area, we decided to take this opportunity to do some major fixin’ to make our home one step closer to our dream home…
Any how, With our budget of around $9K, we start planning what we want to make change.

After consulting with a couple handymen recommended by our friends, we start building our shopping list.

Bathtub (with Drain)
Kohler Archer (32 x 60 x 19): I wanted something deep for soaking, but did not want to go too deep so that its easy to get in and out for shower. Archer has relatively deep soaking depth with moderate hight of 19″.

This looks like a long list, however this is not all. I also needed drywall, cement board, nails, screws, other hardware, and materials that I needed to run to a store as I needed basis…

So now I got the list of stuff to get, let the project begin!
