it continues...

Well, the master bedroom is now finnished, and has become our makeshift living room for the time being...

Now, the hallway (which has also had quite a few changes) and the livingroom ceilings are being drywalled.while all this is going on, the big bathroom renovation has begun!

It all started a few weeks ago...here is what the hallway looked like before...there was a lot of wasted space here that lead you into a closet-like bathroom. most of you know just how small this bathroom is. just enough room for the bathtub, toilet and sink. it serves its purpose, but its time for an upgrade! Its also a good idea to get yet another (and possibly the final) big project done before the new addition to the family comes :)

The plan is to take just about all this unused space, even the old linnen closet and make a nice big bathroom.

David started by removing all the trim, baseboards, and linnen closet doors down. This was all the "prep" needed before framing out the new wall...for that he called in some professional help from over in Shelby to assist him.

Once the help came (aka Dad!) all the big work started. first with some assesing of the situation, then with a trip to the local hardware store to get all necessary supplies...Wood, screws etc...

They completely built the frame before actually having it in the hall. Before the end of day 2 the frame was built, put in place and drywalled!
