Fixer Up-Date

Marty and Sarah had a morning work day at the "new" house on Valentine's Day. Sarah painted, and Marty demo-ed a wall to make way for our new kitchen pantry. This was our date, as we had a sitter and some time alone. Not the romantic get away like in years past, but still exciting as we prepare our house for our family to move into.









The new bathroom is well under way, all the plumbing was put in this week.



This is our bathroom to-be. The ladder is standing in our soon to be shower.



This is the other side of the bathroom and our new walk in closet. The sink and toilet will be on a wall between the spaces. The door that you see is the entrance to our room from the hall. The other door is "framed in" and you may be able to tell where the closet and closet door are going to be.



In the boys room all of the old wood paneling was removed because the room was not insulated and very drafty. In the end we will end up with lots of extra storage as we are creating access to the area under the eves. The boys will also get a little "fort" under the eve.



We can't decide if whe should keep or remove this little built-in in the boys room. The door to the "fort" will be to the right of the built-in (if we keep it).



Here's the house from the rear before:



Here's the back of the house with the bathroom addition. The new window isn't in yet, but has been ordered and is on it's way.
