Naturally, I stepped away from this after buying my apartment. But so much has happened since then!
The apartment is holding down well. I now sit on the board of directors for the co-op - which is pretty interesting to say the least. There are a lot of intricacies that go into running a building as-well as running a corporation - these folks are committed. This building is incredibly fortunate.
Anyway, when I bought the apartment and renovated, I kind of envisioned renovating the entire space (kitchen, living room, bathroom, & living room). But once started in on the kitchen and living room I quickly realized how expensive renovations were! I ran out of money so I had to stick with the kitchen & living room and someday in the future, after saving more money, renovate my bathroom.
That day has finally come!
It took a long while: a couple of tax refunds (excluding this year - thanks 115th Congress -_-), lots of penny pinching, and some discipline but I've saved enough to renovate my bathroom. It's just gotten to the point where I'm so ready to get rid of it, you know?I don't plan on doing anything extravagant...but it's a gut renovation - new tile floor, new black splash, installing a tank toilet, new tub, pedestal sink, and a frameless glass shower door. Check out the before pictures! I'll of course update the progress - I like taking pictures as the work progresses. Let's hope this is a smooth renovation - wish me luck!
