Okay my dear friends. This blog is mostly for my children whom have left the 'coop'. As they all know we are remodeling the bathroom downstairs and it has been a doozy of a job. We thought things would all fit in to a nice little plan we had drawn up and after several 'discovered' pipe configurations we had to scrap what we had started with design-wise. Which is okay, it just sets your mind back a little. But here, for the sake of all of you needing to see the update (and we hope to be done before Katie's nuptials), are the pictures. This is a view as you first walk in the door. New toilet room and shower. The shower is where the water heater used to be. We had to knock down that wall and make it a little bigger than we started with. We are not doing the tiling - that is hired out - AND the red/pink is NOT a part of the final look. I guess it is some kind of sealant. Where the washer and dryer will sit (same place just a little more crowded now). Looking from the washer/dryer spot to where the new DOUBLE SINK vanity will be sitting. Yes, the new toilet room door will hit it, but we are hoping it will remained closed mostly. Looking into the loo. We added 3 windows into the toilet room so it can let the natural light in to the rest of the room. (2 in the shower area and 1 facing the sink area).

These two depict the loo area.

Looking out from the shower to where the original door is. It might be a little tighter than before, but with the addition of a private area (the latrine), and with 2 sinks now, it just might be more accommodating to a family. It's sad, now that we are on the count-down of children, that we are finally doing this, but someday we will be selling it and we are thinking of that. We still have 5 great years of Shannon and Allan around!
