{around the house}: Bathroom is done

I wrote earlier how we had
Thank God we found a good plumber!


Last Saturday they came...we had tiles already picked out
to replace what would be taken out.


The problem was the diverter, which is a small part
in the centre that provides hot and cold water.


Between our place being "new construction" which 
usually means
put up fast and a bit sloppy here in 
good old NJ, they had a cheap part put in,
tile not plumb either (i.e. strait)
and so Mr. Husband and I bought a new
shower-head/faucet/handle with diverter
and it was installed, with new tile in afterwards.


Apparently the water in this area is a bit hard
and it also can wear out parts more quickly.
So now we have a name brand with a diverter that if
it goes out our plumber can go and get a new one 
without taking out 6 tiles.


It's all done now and beautiful.
The tile fits in very nicely and
I am so happy to have a good shower head for it as well.
I love the ones that are 'removable' as they 
are great to help clean tubs with.

Now, finally, our bathroom is done...
