:-( The Bathroom Wasn't Finished!

Well, due to a snaffoo with the shower door, they weren't able to finish today. The door that the contractor bought had a hinge that was 5" from the door edge (Note: only a 24" doorway), leaving only 19" to get thru the door. Sorry, but a person my size is not getting thru a 19" doorway, not even sideways., plus the top bar was too low for Harold to get under, he had to duck his head and he even had to turn sideways to try to get thru the door and it wasn't easy for him.
So, this door will be taken out tomorrow and as soon as they can find one with a piano hinge and NO top bar (like our old one) it will be installed. They are going to do another coat of paint to smooth it all out. The shoe molding is in. The grout will be sealed once the door is installed. They will do this while I am gone, but should be done by Friday at the latest. I do have to note that I love the new flooring. I wasn't sure when I picked it out if it would look good with the tile, but it is perfect. It is all coming together wonderfully.
They did get the toilet reinstalled and even hung the picture I wanted above it (moving it from the hall bathroom to our master bathroom). It looks even nicer in here with the new blue paint.
