Bathroom being redone-help please?

13 Mar 2010

13 Mar, 2010  small bathroom fixtures


I am having my two bathrooms redone. The downstairs is a sink&toilet
upstairs-full bath/shower-Both are small(live in townhouse)
They started on Monday-the downstairs is tiled,painted,toilet in-THAT’S IT-no light fixture at all, upstairs tile is out except for a small piece, tub is in but not ready at all-they put the walls up and that is. Sink/vanity is still in-toilet out
Am I wrong in thinking more should have been done? Should the downstairs have a light in it?
I am not home when they do it-I go to work-I am leaving early today
Thanks for any input..
I did ask for the downstairs 1st-3times!~

Think about the size of the working space, can more than one trade work in there at a time? And things must proceed in a logical order. Tile laid cannot be trod upon, or should not be, for at least 24 hours, and then there is the grouting, sealing that takes 48 hours. Even though there are 2 baths, you have to take this into consideration. My question is, why did you do both at the same time? Construction. remodeling just doesn’t happen as fast as we would like.

    sadly this is the way most contractors work they have their people do as many rooms as possible at a time.they go in and do all the plumbing and then all the electrical and then dry wall and then all the etc.etc.etc… on top of that they will do this in as many houses as possible.. .. so live and learn, if there is a next time ask for the workers to finish at least one bathroom as quickly as possible. and enjoy the sponge baths while you are doing that..
