Translating…
Do it yourself projects always seem like a good idea after watching shows on the Home Improvement Channel. But now, standing inside the gutted framework that used to be your master bathroom, memories of the latest episode of Survivor surface, as they battle nature and the elements for a bit of shelter.
So before you get to that point, feeling stranded in the depths of your once beautiful bathroom, you need to prepare by asking yourself some questions, and possibly enlisting some help.
What is the best way to go about remodeling your bathroom? Doing it yourself can be a great idea, especially if you have attended an instruction class at your local hardware store on the basics of remodeling. Asking for help from a professional friend is also a good idea because you can get advice from someone with a level of expertise without having to pay the big bucks for them. There are also many “how to” videos on the internet ranging from subjects of tiling, to caulking, to cabinets and plumbing.
If you have a bigger job, though, it would behoove you to spend a few bucks on talking to a professional. Some plumbers will come to your home, examine your remodeling project, and offer you quotes and a money plan to assist you with your remodeling plans. Others might offer to consult for a fee, or finish up a difficult project if you run into trouble.
Jobs like installing a new toilet, jacuzzi tub, or water heater could even be dangerous to attempt without at least a consultation with a professional. Many older homes have pipes that should be replaced for improved water quality and drinking safety. Also getting your water source tested for any contaminants that have made their way through your plumbing is a way to ensure your family’s safety, before and after tackling “Do It Yourself” projects.
Planning ahead of time, confidence, and a remodeling coach can help you to finish your beautiful new bathroom just in time to fill up the tub, turn on the Jacuzzi jets and relax at the end of your special project.
Go ahead and get ready. Set your plans in front of you, consult with a professional, and bowled-ly go where only brave “Do It Yourself” plumbers have every gone before … A place with a new bathroom fit for a king and queen … Complete with a new throne to boot.
