New bathroom begins

The main contractor showed up today, on time, and started working on giving me a new bathroom. This is very big for me yet a little unnerving because of all the bad stories one hears about contractors. The day went very well though–the man here ripped out the entire bathroom and the tile flooring. So now there’s a big hole where I used to have a shower, a vanity, towel racks, mirror, and medicine cabinet. He left the toilet because, well, two toilets are always better than one.

Look Ma, no vanity, no mirror    Look Ma, no shower, just bare walls and pipes

Tomorrow is prep work mostly, I think, and perhaps a visit from the City of Mountain View building inspector. This will look so good when done!
