That does it. We finally had to turn the heat on (no chance of making it to my normal November 1st goal, which is always much more fantasy thatn reality). Though "heat" in this house is a very subjective term - our high temperature is what most folks turn theirs down to while they're gone in order to save money. We're most definitely a heavy sweaters, fuzzy slippers, lap robes and down comforters kind of household.
But cold weather means baths. And baths right now stil mean that dinky straight-sided shallow piece of cheap trash that's in my bathroom.
My remodel, planned as this past summer's project, has been delayed by unexpected events, economic concerns, and bald-ass laziness, but NO MORE. By the end of this week I will have done a final review of the plumbers that I interviewed and call one up and start making arrangements. By the middle of next week I want to have ordered all that I need to order (if I use the plumber who would have me do that instead of my buying it through him). I will have made at least the first call to my chosen plumber in an attempt to set up a date.
I WILL get my new bathtub in before the end of the year, so help me Maude.
The rest... no promises. At this rate the room might not be tiled and finished until Chanel marries a skilled carpenter and tiler, but that won't matter if I can relax in my tub with a well-worn book in my hands and perhaps a drink on the side.
I am SO ready to start ripping that crap out of there.

I hear you on the chilly! Ours is on a programmable thermostat, so I ignore it. When it drops below 54 in the house at night or 60 when we are home, it kicks on. It's been going most of the week!
I totally hear ya on project delays. We've been planning our bathroom remodel since before we even moved in, lol! We were going to try to get it done this fall, but it's now looking like a spring project... Oh well. I'm almost getting used to taking a bath in my 8" deep tub!
