The new shower is now complete, bringing us to the end of a journey that has taken over a month and gotten rather pungent at times. In June, Jim and I invited a representative from Tundraland to explore the possibility of renovating the bathroom into a step-in shower. We also spoke to someone from Minnesota Rusco, because Casey is so darn cute. (Don’t worry, Cody, you’re a hottie too.) Tundraland offered us a better price and a faster install.
The install was supposed to happen on August 28th, but the installer had a personal emergency and had to re-schedule for September 13th. That’s when they ripped out the old tub and tile, only to discover a heat register that was going to be in the way. We had to contact Cedar Trails’ contracted maintenance to have it removed, and the pipes re-routed because it’s part of the building’s heating system. Then we had to have a city inspector check the work and approve it. Finally, yesterday Tundraland came back and finished the job. As I write this, we are waiting the 24 hours before we can actually use the shower. That’s about four hours from now. Then I plan to take a long, hot shower.
