Bath floor installed today

Today the bathroom floor was installed. C and I could have done it ourselves, but we hired it out for several reasons. First, the job involves pulling up the toilet and reinstalling it at the new floor height when the floor is done. We saw first hand how badly a leaky toilet can damage the subfloor. If this happens, it is a huge and costly job to fix so we wanted it done right. Also, since we only have one bathroom, it had to be done in one day or we would need a hotel room for the night.

The install went ok. The contractor forgot to bring a new wax ring for the toilet (seals the toilet against the floor so there is no leaks), so I had to page him on his way out of town to go get one. He also forgot to tell the work crew that they were supposed to put two coats of polyurethane on the floor. I think he is really disorganized. The floor looks great though - I love my choice and it feels nice underfoot. Pictures will be posted when it is done.
