Being OK at “handyman stuff,” I went to regrout part of the tub this past weekend (after a on/off again leak) and found a bag of snakes. Rotten patch job (by the Mrs and I earlier in the year, wunderboard gone awry) rotten wire mesh, wet beam (notched by a past plummer years ago we guess), BX too close to the water lines…and of course the retiling.

Photo attached.

May be a bit more than we can chew (depending on what is found), or want to.

Any recommendations on a general contractor for a smallish-medium job? We may have other worked covered while we have someone on hand (cut off valves, replace work sink fixtures, bathroom fan, etc.), but need someone with more “house knowledge” than the Mrs. and I care to guess/do, unless we have to.

So, plumbing, tiling, drywalling (from the leak) and possible some electrical.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated… and did I mention we have an open shower wall? Thus time is of the essence.
