Out of Control

As my friends know, I like to do my renovations "myself". Today I have a very slow crew of 2 installing marble slabs to the walls in my main bathroom. One of them broke a pipe connection and now we await the plumber to come and weld another piece on.
Now my family have been quick to dislike my taste in white tile walls or even limestone. What they were really saying is that no one else will pay money for a plain white bathroom. It has been a private preferrance for years and I won't likely change any time soon. So as a way of upgrading my plain white bathroom into something more luxurious I have men installing marble.
I could have had white tile in there a week ago, and I wouldn't have played with the pipes.
Though I'm sure the wait will be worth it I will need to tack an extra $4000. to the price to break even on the reno of just one little shower. After 2 hrs the plummer has finally arrived.
The new windows have been ordered and will be installed sometime in July. No I will not install them myself. I know my limits. I can't have new tub surround installed until the window over the tub is replaced. I'm beginning to think limestone will be just as pretty and soooooooooooo much cheaper. Besides I can do it "myself".
I did find some beautiful cork tile for the main bath and wish I had found it before I replaced the tile in the ensuite. Now when the crew is gone I can mix up 50 lbs of self levelling cement and then seal it and install cork tiles. Then the new toilet which is sitting in boxes in my sun room can be installed; towel bars go in last and I'm ready for company. Come and try out the new shower.
In the mean time I am hearing a variety of cuss words coming from the next room. I hope that means they are making progress. At least I hear a blow torch, but now the smoke detector is sounding, and 2 guys are loitering in the hall. It's a lovely day for a walk to the beach. I doubt they would miss me.
