A Week's Transformation in House Renovation

In exactly one week, the kitchen has been transformed - and I'm loving it. Dave, on the other hand, seems to still be mourning the loss of his beloved counter. I hold out hope for him because of Sophie. She's the girl who, one week ago, kept marching through the kitchen stating, "No more construction, no more construction!" But her tune slowly changed, first when she went with her grandmother to see and purchase the nook (note to siblings - no it wasn't Mom's credit card) and then as she helped me do the painting. In fact, her tune has changed so much that when I talked to her on the phone this evening (she's with her grandparents taking part in a children's musical this week) the first question she asked was "How's it look?" followed by, "I can't wait to see it!"

The bad news is we've got another house project looming - and this one was not at all anticipated. I was just getting to the point of being pretty confident in my ability to complete projects on my own (including demolition, refinishing floors, paneling, sawing, caulking, and, of course, painting) but this one's way too big for me. Anyone know of some good bathroom remodelers?
