I am going to give the contractor all the left over stuff here. Just a few things. He is building a house for and with his son. Bags of gout. Wall putty. Half cement board. Etc
We contracted to get our bathroom remodeled last June. We used the contractor to remodel our family room & half bath a few years ago. They are very popular & we were told 17 -19 months until our job will be started, so expecting it to get done sometime this fall. Our selections were made last year. They bought our selections immediately & store the materials until needed, so no risk of material costs going up or our choices getting discontinued while we’re waiting.
We have a small 1600 sq ft house with only the 1 full bath. We are getting a tub/ shower combo, even tho we’re in our late 60s & only ever shower. I think keeping the tub is the wiser decision when you only have 1 bathroom. We’re going with a high end shower wall system that will be easier to clean & luxury vinyl plank flooring. I am sick of cleaning tile & grout & don’t want to keep doing that as I get older. It was a very hard decision to not get tile, but cleaning the tub & shower are pretty much the hardest household chores for me right now. So I had to go with what will be physically easier. We have to provide the lights & mirrors, I’ll start looking at those over the summer. I am especially excited because I’m getting a heated towel bar, a luxury I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember. Originally we thought my husband would paint. But he had some medical issues early last year that made us rethink that. We figured we couldn’t know how his health would be in 18 months when the remodel happens. So we had the painting added in too.
As for the mess, these contractors were very good with containing everything when they did our family room. That entailed taking down & rebuilding the fireplace & putting in new ceilings, so there was a lot of dust too. They had a thick gauge plastic sheeting up that blocked almost all of the mess. We had a painting company come in this winter to remove popcorn ceilings & repair walls after we took down paneling in our hallway. They were horrible as far as containing the dust. The plastic they put up was as thin as a sandwich baggie & blew around constantly. We had dust all over the house. It was a very noticeable difference from the remodel contractors. Looking forward to the finished room sometime this year.

We have a shower tonight
And I finished staining the door. Down to the top coat for each side.
we had the flooring in our bathrooms redone with high end lvp and i LOVE it. so much easier to maintain-and it stays much warmer during the cold winter months. one thing we did that saved on cost (we did both bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen/entry hall all at once) was rather than having the tile flooring pulled out-the lvp was installed ON TOP. saved us $$$$ on having that existing tile flooring removed and i think it resulted in an unanticipated side benefit-extra insulation which has resulted in lower utility use.
We have hard well water that turns stuff orange. Even with Culligan and special salt.
I grew up with well water. Best drinking water ever. Never had an issue with staining and it was incredibly hard water. Been in my house on water district water for 41 years now, and I still can smell and taste the chlorine.No door at this time. We have optioned to stay with a curtain with an inside shower curtain. And it is good to go.

So the search was on for a wall material that did not let that leach in. Anywho. DD has a stand up shower that has a curtain and it works at her place. So we will try it. If we don’t like it. Glass will be going up.
