To make a long story short, I had some horrible shower doors from the 1950's which I removed after hating them for 2 years. I'm planning a rather large bath remodel which involves moving walls and basically redoing everything, so my goal was to make the current bath nicer with a budget of $100, knowing that I'll be spending way more in a few months to build an entirely new...Read more
