Well, It's True...


If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. That was definitely the case with our shot at getting our bathroom/laundry area done downstairs on the Bathroom Renovations show. Two very nice women came out to the house to meet us and take a look at the project. Emily, the person Cory had been emailing back and forth, was very excited when she saw/heard what we wanted to do, especially at the idea of it being a retro-style area. (yeah!) Then the bomb dropped--all of the materials they use and everything they put in is free, however, the contractor's labor fee is up to us. With our project, which I guess would be a four episode show (!), it looks like we'd be talking at least 10K or so. Huh?! Not exactly something we've budgeted for! And for a downstairs bathroom and laundry room? Don't get me wrong, it would be SO cool and I'm sure they would do an amazing job....but that's a lot of dough-re-mi that we just were not planning on spending.

Emily seemed to be really excited about us and our renovation, which was very coo--and she said she wanted to do whatever it took to make it happen. Well, we shall see. I'm not getting my hopes up on this one. What a bummer! Those damn spiders and centipedes are probably down there wiping their little brows with one of their many legs in relief--the bastards. (do bugs have brows? Inquiring minds want to know...) Ah well, it was fun to see how that all works and certainly nice to be desired on a television program. I did give both ladies a Feminine Hijinx business card, so, all is not lost. :-)
