What did you get for Christmas? This queen finally got her own throne -- or at least the promise of one.
Our bathroom project* has been moving along fitfully since the summer, the estimated cost shooting up early on, then bouncing around in the mid five figures. Now that it's more or less settled, the Queen Mother, who put up the seed money, has upped her investment -- including an earmark for the turlet.
God love the Japanese and their obsession with bodily functions. They are to commodes what the Germans are to cars. Like a devoted (or desperate) lover, the bidet seat on this pricey potty will do ... well, just about everything.
We made an unexpected discovery during the planning phase. As a group, only politicians are less reliable than contractors, yet the latter actually get huffy when you seek multiple bids. I don't buy a pair of shoes without shopping around; why would we do less with stakes like this?
Anyway, we finally picked someone, and he expects to get started in the second half of February. Stay tuned ...
* I have plans in Adobe format if you're curious.

Good luck! We are planning on a bathroom reno ourselves. Trying to do it ourselves, too. Don't laugh.
