Construction has Begun!

Here are the plans for the new full bathroom we are adding. The far right wall is a wall between the new bathroom and the current eatting room. The new shower is where the old closet was in the back bedroom. The main door to the room will stay the same and is located just above my thumb in the photo.


Mr. Herre has ripped the inside of the 2 closets out and made them one!

He showed up early this morning and gutted the closet in the back bedroom, and by this afternoon had also cleared out the closet at the foot of the stairs in the hallway. Now the two have become one.

Next I guess he'll board up the doorway that used to be the entrance to the back bedroom closet, or come to think of it, I suppose not since that is the main access right now to the plumbing....


At any rate, the big back bedroom closet is where the shower will go, and the little front hall closet is where the doorway from the bedroom to the new bathroom will be.

Sounds fancy, but really it's because Sam has to have hip surgery on Oct. 8th and won't be able to take the stairs at all for 6 weeks! (Our shower is on the 2nd floor) well anyway, here are the pictures of the progress....

Here is the hallway closet at the foot of the stairs, empty and waiting....

Here is the Back Bedroom Closet Empty, Even of Its Shelves and Door, and Ready to Go!
Mr. Herre is working hard to get the closets ready to combine!

I have great pictures of the big main pipeline that was inside that back wall of the closet when he busted it open, but I'll have to load it on here tomorrow!

Sam told Thomas over the phone last night all about Mr. Herre coming today.

We didn't want him thinking Daddy went out of town and Mr. Herre tore the place up! Do you know what he wanted to know? "What's he going to do to make my room nicer? What will he do to the upstairs bathroom? What will he do upstairs?"

Mr. Herre said he's going to tell him, "When Mom and Daddy move their bedroom down here after this nice bathroom is done, we'll move everything around upstairs and it will be much nicer for you." :-)

Very exciting! Now we need a post to explain the hip surgery! Is Sam okay?
