Bathroom Timeline

Mike said we would have the bathroom done by the end of the summer.  I thought that was way too long to wait, so decided to map out the "To Do List" with the time we'll have available to work on it (after work & on weekends around the kids' activities).

And the ending date is... October 1- Booo!!!!
And that's if everything goes smoothly (which it NEVER does!)

So with our expectations adjusted, here's the To Do List on a timeline, to keep us on track.
We gave a little bit of cushion- knowing that we have to figure some of this out by trial & error.
Hopefully there will be some overlap and we've allotted enough time!
