Help with home improvement

After Christmas nearly two years ago we bought the supplies to repair and re-tile both of our bathrooms. But after finishing the main one that was damaged from plumbing problems we decided that winter was the wrong season to be cutting tile with a wet saw outside. So we put off doing the downstairs bathroom until spring. Yeah well, that was the plan anyway.

So here we are 20 months after we purchased the tile finally finishing the project that we started. We got everything torn apart and then put back together to the point of actually laying the tile before we realized that we were short 7 bull nose tile (which gives you the finished look on the edge of the tile where it meets up to the sheet rock).

We have spent several frustrating weeks trying to find more of this tile so we could finish what we started only to find that you can't buy that kind anymore, they can't even special order it for us, and we couldn't find anything close enough to not be noticeable. (here is the point where I wanted to cry because we could not afford to put anything into this project right now and with a family our size you need more than one toilet in the house.)

Enter A great Friend at the home depot and voila'. We were able to return all of our tile (that we bought 20 months ago) without a receipt and get enough store credit to buy new, better, prettier tile, the grout we needed to match the new tile, and still have some store credit leftover to put towards a cabinet (which will have to wait until Mike has a job so we can have enough to pay for it).

To me this is a huge blessing! The tile will look great, it won't cost us anything extra, and I'm happier with the new style than I was with what we had. (I did like what we had, I just like this better.)

So THANK YOU John, THANK YOU Home Depot, and most importantly,
THANK YOU Heavenly Father for blessing me this way.
