so you lost the job to a fisherman ?
Whole house reno
I did a quote a couple of weeks ago, for a whole house reno. Bath kitchen, windows, flooring, etc etc.
The house has been a rental and is in rough shape.
Long story short, the owner choked, and I did not get the job.
The other day I was parked across the street, and saw a truck in the driveway.
The sign on the truck was a fishing guide outfit.
In the doorway I could see a ONE piece acrylic tub.
IF, they could get it up the stairs, which I doubt, they would not get it down the hallway, IF by some miracle they got it down the hall, there is no way in H*ll that it was going to make the turn into the bath.
:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:
Karma got to love it.
Onto the next one:thumbsup:

I love one piece tub/shower units. (Well, actually, to be accurate. . . I just really hate multi piece units.) I'll happily pull doors and trim or even remove walls to get a 1-piece in place. One time, I had to remove an upstairs window and get 3 guys to boost the thing onto the roof and through the window opening. Maybe they hired the fishing crew for muscle because they were going to have to get creative! :thumbsup:
Tub and tile guy myself.
I can not imagine (yes I can) the work involved.
Might have to do a couple more drive bys.
Would have been a nice job.

I have a nice one I've been wanting to get into the house. It is 37 inches wide and my doorways inside are 32. We will be doing some exterior work eventually, and that is how we will get it in.

A few years ago we did a bathroom, and there was no way in hell we would get the tub into it. So we cut the floor out ( also the ceiling to the dinning room) and built a platform it could sit on until we could get the floor framed again. Had the drywall guy fix the ceiling at the same time as doing the bathroom. A little excessive, but they wanted a 1 piece, and I was going to give it to them.Chopsaw Chick said:I love one piece tub/shower units. (Well, actually, to be accurate. . .

call the city and see if they pulled a permit. If these guys are un-licenced, and something floods at a later date the home owners insurance won't pay up.
(my wife works in insurance, so I almost know what I am talking about)

WTF? That's just crazy. HO's can be the weirdest folks when they make their mind up about something they want :laughing: FWIW - I hate pre-fabbed tub units. I'll do them, but they always remind me of a cheap hotel room.A few years ago we did a bathroom, and there was no way in hell we would get the tub into it.

That's funny, I can't stand tile. It was actually a good thing because the joists were butchered by plumbers, so we got to fix that, and new plumbing to the main line in the basement, the house didn't have a vent stack either.66 Shelby said:WTF?

Very seldom do you see a permit pulled for less than structural changes or electrical.
Ok, I never get involved with the process as I only do trim work so I don't know when you will require a permit.Very seldom do you see a permit pulled for less than structural changes or electrical.
told ya that I almost know what I'm talkin about! LOL
My sister used to live on Prideau st. in Nanaimo. Some really crazy people on that street LOL
Still a lot of crazy people, but it is slowly turning into an upscale area, because it is close to down town and affordable.
Crap I just realized that was 17 years back lol. Getting old isn't the thrill you'd think it would be
getting old is not for sissy's. :no::laughing:
Suprising statement (to me anyway). Sterling 4 piece showers are one of the best buys in the bath industry in my opinion. With todays waterproofing systems for tile theres no need to fear the seam.I love one piece tub/shower units. (Well, actually, to be accurate. . . I just really hate multi piece units.)

Besides that they look like chit
One of the window companies that I had quote the replacement job, just replaced most of the windows, cheaper model than I had them quote on.
It was the more expensive quote,but, they take credit cards.
