Gutters in front

I have been planning to redo the garage apron for 2 summers now.  The project is a bit daunting so I have been putting it off.  In the interest of getting something started on it, and to send enough last year at Home Depot to get a reward, I put gutters up over my garage stall.  Not too hard a task, but I did need some help holding them up there while I attached them to the facia.

I think to note, you need to seal the pre-fabed corner pieces otherwise they leak.






I made the little jog in the downspout, because that was as far as I could get with the length of gutter I purchased after cutting for the corner.  I could see regretting that if ice builds up in there.  Also, I put it up a week ago, it rained once and there were a bunch of leaves in it already.  Hence I added the gutter guard stuff.

Bathroom costs

I have been collecting receipts for the last year, this is what I have so far...
  • $350 - 60"x42" White curb shower base
  • $500 - Wall Tile, grout
  • $40 - lights
  • $20 - bargin door
  • $120 - pocket door frame
  • $100 - faucet
  • $100 - drain PVC, ball valve, pex adapter, etc
  • $130 - cement board
  • $110 - waterproofing stuff
  • $100 - self-leveling concrete
  • $30 - mortar
  • $35 - drywall
= $1635

I am sure there is more I am missing but it is probably under $2000.  We still have the floor, toilet, and vanity to find.  So all in will probably be close to $5000 I would guess.
