I'm going to remodel the car.

A:
I finally decided I’m going to have my bathroom remodeled this summer.
B:
That’s great. You must be excited.
A:
Yeah, I can’t wait to get a new bathtub. The one that we picked out has electronic controls and is much bigger than the one we have now. It’s going to be great to relax in it after work.
B:
I know what you mean. There’s nothing like taking a long bath after a hard day. I usually program the bathtub in the morning so it’s ready when I get home.
A:
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to that. Now, I have to wait about twenty minutes and the water gets cold so quickly.
