Hey Chat, can you teach me how to remodel my bathroom?
Chat: Sure. It’s super simple!
Step 1: Demo the entire bathroom.
STOP!
Wear a mask, because surprise… there’s black mold. Everywhere.
Are you wearing gloves?? I’m worried you might cut your hands on that rusty shower pan!!
Step 2: Mold mitigation. Cut out the rotting subfloor. It has to go!!!
How are you getting all this trash to the dump? Would you like me to rent you a dumpster? Or are you planning to pack it all into your car?
Step 3: Install new plumbing and electrical while the walls are open.
Did you shut the power off??
Before you cut the water line, is the water off?
Step 3.5 Grab a bucket & a mop. You’ve now flooded the entire room. And that wire seems to be sparking…
Step 4: Put it all back together. Drywall, tile, primer, trim, paint, custom shower panels, new fan, lights, vanity, and finish the whole room in Forest Floor by Benjamin Moore.!
Me: I’m not sure I can handle that. How long will this simple bathroom remodel take?
Chat: You should set aside 80 hours for labor.
Plus you will need 30 hours for ordering all the correct size products, and add on at least 8 trips to Lowe’s.
Me: Hey Chat, umm can you recommend a good contractor instead…..
Chat: Yes. Yes I can.
