Shower Doors and Flooring Done!








They finished the shower doors today and they look awesome. I feel like I'm in a hotel shower!! Danny at Frameless Depot was awesome. Would definitely recommend him. Prices are amazing and work is excellent.

The hardwood floors are done and ready. They look amazing and we were so pleased with Javier's work at Paracas Hardwood Floor. We look forward to using him in the future to refinish the rest of the hardwood floors in the house.

We can put closets in the bedroom and we can shower without making a mess. Counters come in tomorrow and then drumroll please... appliances!!!

Glass Doors Going In



The guys are here and they are installing. They have put in the door and now the panel needs to be installed. It's looking gorgeous! FYI Superior Glass also goes by Frameless Depot.

Frameless Shower Door

Today they come to install our long anticipated frameless shower door. Our door is not standard size so it's not like we can pop in to a store and pick one up. We did our homework and after meeting with several people who were quoting us $2000.00 and up for a glass door we found Superior Glass Service. They are in Silver Lake and they actually fabricate all the glass for most companies that sell frameless shower doors. So when you go to other companies and they say you have to wait up to three weeks for your door, it's because Superior is cutting their glass for them. And since Superior cuts for their customers first, the other companies have to wait in line. So basically by going to them directly you are cutting out the middle man and you are paying less than a third of what everyone else is quoting. Sweet!

One guy that came in was trying to sell me the shower door at $2100.00 plus the glass coating for $300.00 bucks. Then he said I had to buy the solution that would keep the glass nice but that I could only buy it from their company and I would have to buy it every three months. As he's saying all this he was handing me the pen and telling me where to sign. I may be a lot of things but a sucker I'm not.

We called Superior and Danny came over to do the measurements. He was fast, and the turnaround time for the door? A couple of days. And he told me the coating was optional. The coating here by the way only cost $75.00. And no special solution is necessary to clean the glass, just a squeegee to wipe off water after we shower is all the maintenance we will need.

Sanding Down




The Hardwood floors were installed yesterday and are being refinished as I type. It's amazing that just by having floor put in, it finally makes that room feel like a real room. And though it took a little more effort to find the matching floor it was worth it because now it feels like that back room was always part of the house. The next step is getting closets in there and a bed so we can begin unpacking! I won't even know what to do with myself once I get to pull clothes out of the closet and not out of a box or a plastic bag. Stay tuned.
