Now the kids are out of the house you and your spouse have decided to add a bath near the pool for changing. This is something you should have put in when the kids were at home but the money was never there although the thought was. Since you have had a few years to think about it there’s not much to do except to find a contractor and begin. Because this will not be a cheap addition plan on hiring someone who has been around town for some time and check with the Better Business Bureau on possible complaints. When the paper work begins make sure you see an updated insurance policy and licensing. The last thing you need is someone getting into this and running with half the money you gave him in good faith.
There are many crooks out there that have yet to be caught. Take the time to go on the internet and get some bathroom remodel ideas. Although this is a new bath you can still pick up some ideas on the remodel sites. Also you may want to ask your contractor if there are any jobs you can do to help with the costs. With the economy like it is the idea is to save money and that can be done even when spending it. You would be best without a tub because you’ll have people in there taking a bubble bath when it’s strictly an in and out bath. Since you also have a hot tub that you use in the cooler months don’t forget heat in the bath. Since it is a new structure you can consider a heat lamp and heating unit under the floor which would help after the hot tub. No need to get the chills.
