About a month ago, I wrote an update on our upstairs bathroom remodel. To recap: after a couple of disappointing contractor visits and bids, I decided to call Janet, our previous project manager at Lowe's.

Probably the most important post that we wrote was how ice dams damaged the door and how we fixed it. That post started the…

In my day-to-day life, no news almost always mean good news. However, in the home reno world, no news means nothing is happening. At the end of last year, Andy and I considered an easy refresh of the upstairs bathroom. However, once we started dreaming, we decided that maybe moving forward with the full remodel…
