Are we crazy! We knew when we bought the condo that it needed some upgrades. The kitchen was one, the bathroom was another and a new entrance door was the third.
The kitchen reno was full of ups and downs and we were dreading getting the bathroom done. Then we managed to get hold of John Ridgwell!! John had renovated our basement and bathroom in our old house and did an excellent job. We spoke to him about the bathroom reno and he said he would be available to do it for us in June.
What an opportunity, if we could get time of work we could cycle GOBA and John could renovate the bathroom while we were away. We confirmed that he could get it done in a week. He said if we were out of the condo, he could work from dawn to dusk and get it done.
I was able to get the time off work, Ralf got fired from his job. I booked GOBA the last week in May. We didn’t tell Dick or Beverley that we would be at GOBA, we wanted to surprise them.
We spent time with John picking tiles, cabinets, bath and surround etc and gave him the keys on Friday June 17, 2016.

What a difference having a great contractor makes to getting a job done.
We arrived home after a great weeks cycling and had a new bathroom, a few minor touch-ups to be completed the following week and it is done.
I don’t think I will be letting Ralf put his bike in the new tub.

Bath looks great, really like the shower door. It really is great to have a good contractor. Looks like he did a great job for you. What a surprise seeing you two at GOBA. Glad you two made it. Really enjoyed seeing, talking, and cycling with you guys. Made GOBA a lot more fun. Enjoy your new kitchen and bath and be safe.
John is a great contractor. When we need anything else done, we will wait until he is available!
