bathroom floors.
floors ground back down to the base concrete, sigh. so much work gone.
10/10 would not recommend installing coving yourself. Sticky, uncomfortable, and stressful.

Thanks to Garrett and Piper for saving us on this project. After our floors cracked, we we pretty overwhelmed. We reached out to Chico Chai’s Sarah Adams who connected us with Garrett for help. They were booked out eight plus weeks but still made the time to help with a couple of steps and train Rylan on the rest. The was the final morning where they applied the epoxy sealant.
