Saving on Saturday! New Closet

We finally have a completed bathroom! One of the major areas that we ended up saving money on was the closet in the new shower room.

A short history lesson, when we were building the addition, we only contracted out a couple of things. First thing was the footers and block foundation. Our thought process was that this needed to be perfect and right otherwise the entire addition may have problems. Turns out we were right. Unfortunately, the foundation is 3/4 an inch out of square between the part that touches the house to the end. The second part we contracted out was roofing, as we had the old roof replaced as well, we also had the HVAC put in at the same time and both of these are awesome.   So, with a 50% batting average we decided that due to the size of the shower room we wanted to the tile work to be done by someone. Unfortunately, this did not work out. the shower ended up leaking and we have needed to replace the entire floor for a while. This is one of the two remaining items on our summer list.

We are loving our new shower!  We also knew in order to save money we would need to rebuild the closet ourselves.  We have had a rolling laundry basket and metal shelves in place for years.  Both of which have been sitting in our bedroom since the beginning of June.   We actually attempted to put the wire shelves back in place but that did not work. We spent all day Saturday and approximately $150 for this!   I do love the results
