Updates and Thanks

Last week we started taking apart the bathroom. Everything was going according to plan. Then we noticed that one of the walls looked like it used to support the original corner of the house. So we had Josh's Dad look at it before we removed the closet. While he was there he noticed alot of things that needed to be fixed. So Sunday his parents came back to help. We would like to give them a big thank you for the massive help they gave us over the past weekend at the house. His Dad, Tom brought his great carpentry skills and he and Josh tore the bathroom apart then put it back together. Mary Ellen, Josh's Mom, was the master cleaner and managed to clean the rest of the cellulose that covered the bedroom floor, you can see in our pictures of the demo, no small task. Again, many thanks.

That day Laura also went to get us a sink. We'll add pictures soon.

You can see photos of the bathroom with it's new sub-floor and new studs on the Flickr page. The tub is there too.  Also, Josh went over after work to see what the plumber and electrician had done. The report: We have PEX tubing in the cellar and a lot of something happening with the electrical.

Josh was also going to strip the front hall. He got distracted and started opening the livingroom wall, to find the old stove mantle.
