" Nick Beasley our homeowner swimming out and a minute ago we were in. The half bathroom this right off of -- key hall and the living room et cetera right now we're in the new master so architecturally you kind of flipped things right correct. We knew we moved in there's a little tiny half bath off the master bedroom in the main bathroom was off the hallway and to reverse that thank you be nicer to have. And little half bath that our guests could use and come and -- and we get our own private bathroom here exactly makes a lot of sense you to you had to do a lot of demolition flood demolition theater redo all the plumbing has it been a lot of you -- plumbing that wasn't very good a lot of irrational had to pull out very and then and the floors were out of level and have been hacked up by the previous plumbers that we redid all that sure well structurally and then. Related out."
" So exactly so we've added new windows from Pella which in this case. I guess they're -- who have the -- one -- is that the two over two over one -- one which again is in the feeling of this 1890s house -- couple original windows left from the house and they were two over ones we -- chose these to match right. I think Uniroyal Goodrich -- with color choices around here out of the Corian tub surround is in terrific blue shade. -- and of course we have the folks from sterling out here who did a magnificent job of figuring out how to. Do the template. For the tub using digital photography and computers and really impressed very impressive and it came out perfect and of course you picked wall color that matches. The bedrooms of the master bedroom and the master bath all flow together very nicely. I really like what you've done as a solution for not having glass doors or not having just a shower curtain when you've got. A situation like this time here we're just over half."
" Well one hand. This was an interesting glass installation done by our friends at classic glass here in stone in Massachusetts. It involved finding a plumb line and drilling through the tile. Starting with a center punch so the drill won't wobble and damage the tile then inserting plastic wall anchors. The aluminum channel was made to accept three eighths inch tempered glass. It was screwed to the wall using three stainless steel screws to prevent any corrosion. On the bottom of the glass they applied a vinyl cushion that adhered to the edge to seal the joint and take up any variation between the surfaces."
" When their classes center place upside down."
" They dry fit everything to be sure all dimensions are correct. Texture. Ushered. In here. She went into the shower curtain rod is held in place with a traditional chrome bracket. At the other -- they used a specially made fitting that allows a bolt to go through the glass. It threads right into the rod and is tightened with a very small Allen wrench. After everything was dry fit successfully. The guys reassembled it using silicone adhesive for a permanent installation and it looks great."
" All right so let's talk about on the lighting fixtures he's are all from Bellacor. And like so many components in remodel today you go online. And you do year's elections rhetoric they're great website really easy to use in this huge selection yet so you've gotten these which are sort of a modern take on. Old fashioned glass shades that would've been hung. Over. You know over. A sink in here you've got a terrific American standard pedestal sink. Which I think aesthetically works very very well I mean your choices are good for an 1890s house being rehab in the 21 century the floor is terrific. Thank you. Well it's a very very good job of unifying the whole thing. And these windows are not like the ones that I -- we put in the nursery room where we have the Pella inserts how to how these work these are from Smith and Nomura."
" Right these are top down bottom up shades they can neither. Operate like your traditional shade they might come up now order. Come down from the top as well which we thought in the bathroom would be nice since it gives you privacy. But I also allows the light in his well it works very well great well there's still Morrissey."
