A Deal is a Deal

My husband is the type of person who’s always looking for a deal.  In fact, if he can’t get a deal on something, it’s pretty much not worth purchasing.  Conversely, we may not have a desire for a particular thing, but if there’s a deal to be had… well, maybe we just need to have that.  Much of this comes from being cheap frugal, but it also comes from knowing someone from just about every trade known to man.

Take, for example, the phone call I received this morning:  

J: “Hey, they’re sending a guy over to put in a shower door.  Are you home?”

Me: “Um, yeah.  Ok.”

See, Jeremy was talking to this guy he knows, whose family owns a door company.  The End.  

This is how our shower has looked for the past 6 years, give or take a few shampoo bottles:

This is how it looked once I viewed the prior photo and realized how dang dirty the grout was.  Oh, and removed the stuff.


And then dude showed up, and explained how installing a shower door was a three step process.

Step One, The Frame:


Step Two, The Doors:


Step Three, The Caulk:



Don’t you just love the word caulk?

So what do you think?  



Not
about the green sponge paint. 
I know.  It seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Actually, I was standing on the counter.  Awkward as heck, but effective!

My husband put in all those extras in the shower – pretty nice!  Those “massaging jets” on the left?  They are just the right height for Jeremy’s shoulder blades.  They hit me in the back of the head!  It’s a good idea, though.
