New Bathroom Emerges from Friendships

9/24/2020

Carpentry work is not my favorite thing to do, but rotten floor forced me to renovate my bathroom this summer. I felt dreaded to face the project as I feared it would cost me thousands of dollars. I usually try to fix problems by myself, but it would be beyond what I can manage. Besides I could not find any handyman, who would show up reliably. The headache was solved when my friend Bjo introduced me to a handy lady, Danielle. She would be able to take care of all the plumbing and electrical work. Not only that, she was willing to work with me and several friends of mine, who stepped up to help me. My new bathroom is really a work constructed with friendships, generosity, and love. I would like to share some of the process with you.

I was so happy to see the before and after pictures! Now that is what I call a job well done and great team work! I noticed everyone had smiles which was very nice to see!

Every single person engaged in the renovation was a hard worker. We worked well together and had fun at the same time. Are you Danielle's employer from Washington? Thank you for recommending her. It was so much fun to work with her.
