Have fun Sir -- I thoroughly enjoyed this project -- I ordered everything -- vanity w/mirrors, picked out the vanity lights, surfed the web and found the nodrillingrequired grab bar & accessories, the Delta Lahara hardware (faucets), the ebbe shower drain & Delta tub & shower valve body. May as well replace that since the wall is "open." A new Kohler water saving toilet at the big box hardware store completed the order.

The only thing I did purchase locally from a tile home interior store (and did not work as planned) were 3 boxes of magnets (4 magnets per box). The plan was to install them spaced apart for the 4 foot length of the face of the garden tub -- to have access to the hardware & motor. The tile was too heavy for the magnets to work properly & so went with plan B (screws & grout over the screw heads). Neat product though (as the photo shows).

Loss of $20.95 w/tax for 3 boxes & gave them to the guys for use in a future job.

Also bought at the big box hardware store 1/4 turn "sharkbites" which replaced the archaic water shut off valves for the sinks and toilet.

Best,

Bob
