We bought an older house last year with 'good bones' & lots of space! Everyone calls it the 'Brady Bunch house', both for it's architectural details and for the horrible 70's decor of the place that we have almost reno'd/painted out! Even before we closed on the new house I bought (& stored) a jetted corner tub (advertised as new); got a great deal but...after totally reconfiguring the ensuite layout for it (we took out the walk in closet to double the bathroom size), purchasing new toilet, sink, new paint, new ceramic tile surround...the darned tub did not work!!! Fortunately my contractor friend had some connections and a $300 motor later...perfect!
