For tile, cement board, grout,<BR/>wallboard, mud, tape, paint, and a new sink, minus my birthday money from both sides of the family, it's around $150. I'm pretty sure I couldn't even pay a day's labor with that much. And besides, then I couldn't change my mind halfway through a job, or get to contribute helpful comments like, " We've all got the intestinal flu. Get that toilet back in there NOW!"Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592422693684288999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229671224605346618.post-39289725413210213612008-07-17T16:11:00.000-07:002008-07-17T16:11:00.000-07:00Oh ugh!

I hate remodeling.<BR/>I've had my fill of that, and we're no where close to finished!!<BR/><BR/>Rubi says there's a company that will company redo your bathroom in one day.
