Upstairs bath - closet removed
OK - For all of you wonderful and loyal followers of our blog clamoring for pictures, hope this meets the need. Unfortunately, most of what's going on is "behind the scenes": electrical and plumbing under the floor, as well as insulation - new electrical panels, sockets, and some recessed lights (not here yet). The contractors have left for the day, so no pictures of the insulated crawl. I'll try to get some tomorrow. HOWEVER, here's an interesting look at the removed closets. We knew it would make an amazing difference to have those huge dark things gone, but WOW! Really, the rooms are SO MUCH brighter and bigger. If you haven't already been told, the hacks who added the upstairs bathroom actually cut the floor joists in the upstairs bath to accommodate the most horrendous plumbing job known to man. The hideous downstairs closet (which was VERY sturdily built -- thankfully!), has been bearing the weight of the upstairs bathroom floor - YIKES! So, the beam you see in the office has been gouged into the wall's mortar/brick to rectify the situation and the closet has finally been removed :-). The floor tearing up to do all the insulation, electrical and plumbing in the crawl is probably not as dramatic as you might have thought. It's just two spaces in each room, downstairs. I only took a picture of one, the entry, but you get the idea. For you who haven't seen, please note the new paint job in the entry and office. I also included pictures of the previously referenced geothermal...humps. Just dirt mounds, now. I wasn't able to catch them in progress - hectic day of dog escape, Farmer Brown incident, and travel. Then I was gone the next day. So, I'm afraid humps are all we have left.
