Making progress...

So he selected contractor #2 who seems like a nice guy and has done work with a colleague. The photos looked good and a contract (work order) has been drafted up and awaits signatures. He plans to start between Dec 1 and 15th.

There have been issues with the tub removal. Currently, for condos there is a 3/8 drain requirement, and if a slab were to go in that would not allow for the 2" space needed for draining. As a result, he's decided not to order the slab and go with custom 4x4" or 2x2" tiles in the shower base. The small size will allow for sloping. We went to CIOT again and they have a nice variety of small porcelain tiles. We liked the 2x2 Golden Nugget at $4.95/sq ft.

We also went to Lowe's and picked up accessories like a toilet paper holder, towel ring and hooks. They were chrome, looked similar to the high end ones but were a fraction of the cost.
