August 10, Bathroom.

One of the rooms upstairs is this funny little 'extra' room. It's not a bedroom, since it doesn't have a closet (which means the realtors can't bill it as such), and I think the previous owners where using it as storage area. It's at the top of the stairs near the master bedroom.
Well, I decided almost immediately, that room would be my new bathroom. In a house this size, one bathroom doesn't seem to suffice, and I envision getting up before dawn on cold winter mornings, and wanting to have my morning shower closeby--not down a flight of stairs and to the back of the house, where the only existing shower/bath is at the moment.
So, it's another room to work on, meaning we have to tear out the lath and plaster, after liberating it out from under the faux wood paneling. It's a small room, but what a chore. Ben and i went over after work tonight and hacked down the wall. I believe I will be sore in the morning.

I think I'll miss the demoltion chapter of this renovation, it's kind of fun, and I assume the finishing work will be more difficult.
I started with the paneling, see above, and then removed the shag carpet--the under panel showed a flooring that must have been a little boy's bedroom--funny linoleum with cowboy and indian scenes. How crazy!
