More pictures

Each week adds more and more. Check out the new pictures of walls and structure. Arne decided it was too difficult to save the old bathroom as it was due to rain damage. Or maybe he just likes demolition? In anycase all but that jacuzzi tub of Colleen's is demolished and the walls expanded to make it a little less tight. The shower will be flipped to the other side to accomodate the new door position and then tiled rather than the tiny pre-fab. The walls were pushed out some taking space from the mud room but giving elbow room to the rest of the bathroom. For those that don't know the story Colleen found the jacuzzi tub in a back corner of Lowe's where they put damaged goods. (Okay I was lost looking for something, it's not a fabric store after all). Anyway, when she approached a manager to ask if he would sell the tub at a discount because there was a crack on the ledge (not where water sits) the gentleman said sure, "how about 50$?" Needless to say it is a prize posession not just because of the price but the comfort it brings to sore joints. It was the one thing that absolutely could not be touched in the remodel. Arne came close but the tub is safe, and truly the only thing so far that was left untouched!!! Hopefully the next update will show roof and siding done........expect the weather to improve once we have that done since it hasn't co-operated so far!!!
