During December I had a slow leak in my guest bathroom toilet that I ignored until my water bill came and I was shocked it had increased by 20 bucks over the prior month. I took action and had Scottsdale Plumbing come to assess the situation. To rebuild my old toilet would cost about as much as a new one so I opted for a new "convenient" height toilet plus get a low flow rebate. Since I needed to have one replaced I thought I might as well replace the other toilet at the same time. So far, so good but both bathrooms had yucky shag carpet that Mike T, Erik T and Holly T all knew about from their visits.
As the plot thickens "Ed" the plumber has a brother who does tile. I had Michael come to assess the flooring and decided to have both carpets replaced with tile. The next step was to look for tile at Home Depot which was relatively easy and more or less painless. With tile in hand the carpet was removed and low and behold there was yucky linoleum under neath. After removing the linoleum the job went relatively quickly. Then it dawned on me that the guest tub/shower combination was in need of new faucet handles and new shutoff washers to prevent the drip, drip, drip after taking a shower. Of course, if I did one bathroom I might as well do the other bathroom... Right?
Well, here is where the complications set in. Both bathrooms needed new "tub & shower 8" three handle valve bodys" Did I happen to mention the bathrooms are side by side but with the toilet and shower plumbing at different setbacks to the hallway? Well, this was a big deal. In fact almost worth going to Dominos for the BFD pizza..
Needless to say yesterday did not go well as more complications set in with wood rot, broken tiles, mis-aligned plumbing but the good news is Ed, Michael and his assistant came thru with flying colors. I now have a great looking guest bathroom and the master bathroom is on its way to completion.
Great Job by Scottsdale Plumbing and adapting to the changing situation.
