METICULOUS ASS CONTRACTOR!
buy the poor guy a snap line, bro....

1StGenCL

For real. Florida guys chug, slam the bottle on the ground of your home, and then start drilling while doing lines off the drill they "borrowed" from you.

Then they sue you for cutting themselves on broken beer bottles while your guy is marking every hole Granted I hear J marks every hole as well but that's a different story.

LMAO...
what was REALLY funny about that was how incoherent that was, pretty clearly he was on some beer and coke when he posted!

1StGenCL

Just beer haha

So he got the first round of tape and mudding done, it's really starting to come together well.





For the window edges, he used plastic ends instead of metal to prevent the rusting that I had in the future, we'll also be resealing the window

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

So the drywall and mudding is all done, primed and then painted the ceiling and the walls, ended up needing more paint for the second coat, here's a couple from the first coat






He painted the second coat and then it was tile time!








Just noticed the 2 different colors in the picture, hope that's just because the paint was wet...

CCColtsicehockey

Looking good. Hopefully that is just wet paint unless the paint was not mixed well before he sharted and the color was sitting at the bottom.

It's just the lighting, keeps showing up on my camera that way but looks fine in person, we'll see how it looks once we put the light fixture up but it all looks uniform now that it's dry

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Took another pic of the lighting to check with my phone, to the naked eye it's the same color, with the lighting it looks different but definitely appears to just be lighting.



And yesterday he grouted the tile, came out great!

SamDoe1

^ No border between the tile and carpet or are you replacing the carpet too?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

We will be putting a threshold down to cover the join, the grout was still wet in this pic

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Vanity, light fixture and toilet are going in now!

CCColtsicehockey

Nice. You are finally almost done.

iTrader: (6)

if I were local...



I'd take the inaugural shit!

SamDoe1

Ah ok, I thought the transition seats underneath the tile (or that's how I've always done it at least) which is why I was asking.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

All mine...

brian2

have you been holding it this whole time?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Nope, this is a secondary bathroom that was barely used for 10 years. The Champ is going strong in the main bathroom, and has been for quite some time

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Realized that I didn't post pics yet, been super busy the last few days

CCColtsicehockey

Bathroom renovation came out great

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

turn that fucking GFI right side up!

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

First thing I bitched about after he left

I had it right side up, he did it to "code" which is supposed to be upside down?

I'm flipping it back to the way I had it when I replaced the thing in the first place...

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

really?
to code is the other way around?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Supposedly

SamDoe1

I'd move for this reason alone.

CCColtsicehockey

It apparently was changed in a bunch of states a few years back. It is code now here in NC as well.

The explanation for the change I was told is that if a cable comes slightly unplugged but not enough to no longer be active if the ground pin is on the top it blocks a metal object from connecting the live and neutral wires together.

brian2

I would ask him to point you to where it says that in NEC

1StGenCL

Hmm, that does make sense.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Code here in CA as well.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

It's just dumb and cosmetically looks stupid, I'm going to flip it and if a home inspector bitches whenever I try to sell I will change it

dallison

Who did the caulking?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I missed that...I am assuming they will go back and paint over it or else why didn't they use brown.
I prefer brown caulk usually. Usually it's bigger.

brian2

it's not the size of the caulk, it's how you apply it.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

well it definitely filled the gap, and then some!

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

The contractor did the window, and the sink. My gf taped off the sink and it still looks like that

We're going to redo the caulk on both the sinks

CCColtsicehockey

Yeah I didn't want to point that out but damn that contractor did a piss poor job on the caulking

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, my girl already was bitching about his caulking job in the main bathroom. She made me caulk the division between the shower and tile and it came out really nice. We're planning to redo the caulk on both sinks. The window I will probably just paint and be done with it

1StGenCL

Double caulk, nice.
