WE GOT LUCKY!!! Bathroom remodel part 5 Remember when I told you I was afraid the shower jets were leaking and we’d have to replace them at $75 each? So the plumber came today to put the liner in. He said he didn’t see any leaks from the jets, and we should be good. I still had him replace the second cartridge that he did on the other side to be safe. He also got the brushed nickel drain cover, which is perfect, but he wasn’t able to get the diverter replacement cartridge. Of course, I was not ok with that and had to try myself, so I called Delta after googling and reading a Reddit thread where someone said that Delta sent them replacement jets for free. Long story short I found the original receipt with the rough in part numbers and delta is sending us 2 cartridge repair kits, stem extenders, shower heads and 8 replacement jets which is amazing and the universe is watching over us because this shower kit is discontinued and it goes bad we’re screwed because won’t have tile left to replace them without having to rip everything out. They had the wrong address on the shipping email, but I caught it right away, and they were able to cancel and reorder. Again blessed!!! The plumber installed the diverter on the left side, so when the hose and handheld shower wand are installed, they’ll be less noticeable. With the liner in the tile guys came back and put another layer of cement with a pitch so the water flows to the drain. Tomorrow morning, they’ll be back to start with the floor and wall tile, so I have to run to the store and get a shower threshold saddle that matches what we have going on in this master bathroom. Fingers crossed the store has what I need in stock, and I can get it tonight. You may think we are crazy for not gutting and redoing the entire shower, but we already invested $300000 20 years ago, which would probably be double now when we went back 10 ft and added a second floor to our small ranch home. So we’ve already invested a ridiculous amount into Willow House and are not trying to spend any more than we have to. That’s the update for now. Follow along to see how this 20-year-old Tuscan trend bathroom transforms over the next couple of weeks.
