Home Renovations

As I type this, the bathroom in our house is being demolished! David and I have been talking about remodeling various parts of the house since last summer, and this weekend we started! The first project is turning our very large bathroom into 2 smaller bathrooms (one which will be attached to the master bedroom, and one which will be a guest bathroom) and a walk-in closet. Thankfully David knows how to do electrical work and plumbing. And thankfully David's father and friend, Bryan, are here to help today. So hopefully this project will be taken care of in a few weeks!

One half of the bathroom. This part won't be taken out until we finish making the new guest bathroom.
The shower will stay until after the new guest bathroom is made, too. At that time It will be replaced with a tub/shower in the master bathroom.
It's a warm day for mid-April, and it's hard work ripping out a jacuzzi tub!

No insulation in the walls! No wonder it costs so much to heat the house in the winter and keep it cool in the summer! Thankfully insulation and new siding are some of the other projects that we're planning for this spring/summer.

Wow, that's a big bathroom to be divided into two bathrooms and a closet! And WOW, no insulation! That must've been quite the surprise to find! Good luck with the projects. Can't wait to see the "after" pictures. :)
