@HoldenthePage As a property owner, I often find it is easier to lower my standards than improve the property to meet my existing, not very high standards.

Just expressing frustration: might be time to give up on this bathroom remodel—both working on it personally or contracting out. Estimates are unclear. Contractors don’t respond. My cities permit pages go to dead links. Tbh I’m not liking home ownership in general.
