Thanks Cole
This particular bathroom (without being too specific) was in the range of $12,000-$18,000 for labor and material (tile,window,shower receptor, shower door,baseboard,etc. etc. etc.)
The client supplied the tub,mirrors,faucets,cabinet, cabinet top,sinks, toilet and so on.

looks good glad to here that you also have a kitchen to do!!! People really like to here that if they can work in a budget they can get more done. I recommend to most people if they come up with a budget we are more likely to get the work done than coming up with a flat estimate due to material differences. well take care and keep up the good work!!!

Thanks Turnkey
I wish they hadnt had me install that medicine cabinet by the toilet 
Ohhh well, they are happy and thats #1 priority in my book!
The kitchen demo will start next week and will be considerably more elegant than the bathroom once completed in October.

Taking a shower is going to brutal if you don't put a showerhead in there.

What...... drop cloths pfffffffftn whatever, we dont need any drop clothes!!!
I had a few scratches but they buffed out with some sand paper
All kidding aside,take a closer look....... you will notice thats the old tub, that was ripped out.
The new tub installed is in the first post of pictures.
This is what we do to protect things accordingly. 2 moving blankets underneath 1 drop cloth taped to the surface of the tub then red rosin paper. The drop cloth is over the whole tub when working.

Did you have to use such a long toilet supply, they do make shorter ones in different lengths you know.
