I think more online research is required!

Friday, October 12, 2007

Friday was a day of Elmsdale...meeting first at the bath place, where you are inundated with choice and 'designer' options. These, of course come with 'designer' prices.

As we have limited width in the master for the bathtub, that narrowed down the selection somewhat. I am also of a limited size, so that helped. Despite having 6'+ room lengthwise for a tub, more than 5'5" is really too long. Who knew? It will give me lots of room plus there will be a deck around the tub. I'm ok with that...however I did wish there were more to choose from in that category.

Toilets: Andreas has already done the research and we have toilets picked out. Made by Toto. We just now have to choose elongated "right-height" or round-bowl regular height.

Then we started looking at all of the shower controls and shower heads and it was overwhelming at first...and of course because we have an eye on budget as well. The salesman at the bath place was very patient, apparently he's seen people scream at each other and even walk out while selecting these things! I personally eventually came to realize that the selection was not as huge as it originally seemed, and frankly, I wanted more options to choose from.

Having not actually selected anything, we left 2 hours later, brochures in hand and grabbed lunch. We decided to cruise by HD for alternatives. Of course, we have been in HD many, many times looking at faucets and showerheads, but now we have a different eye. At the end, we came to the conclusion that we should take the information gleaned from today's experience, and apply it to some serious on-line research.

Next stop: Elmsdale...just a few minutes at the job site to see what was happening...and woah, there are rafters going up!!!
