Bedroom Building, Sheetrocking Ahead, Master Suite Renovation

Looking into the new bathroom, undressed walls visible to establish the space in the new bedroom

 I apologize to my readers for the delay in new postings. I am sure you must think we have fallen off the face of the earth. Well, we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but we have come pretty close to it with this project. A slower project I can not imagine. In addition to the struggles with this project, my computer fried and I had quite a bit of difficulty replacing it and then even more trouble adjusting to the new programing. I have a touch screen and an apps format. Since I did not have a smart phone until after this new computer, I had no idea how to grasp the new concepts included in this new computer....so I struggled, have finally leveled out a bit and am now ready to attempt to pick up the pieces and move forward .

This project has eaten nearly every moment of the last six months and still has another month to go before completion.  This renovation has been so slow, so expensive and very difficult work.Retrofitting into an already established space is far more difficult than adding on, or gutting an entire house I can't even begin to explain how and why it has taken six months to get this far, other than that. After six months it is just approaching completion. How Mr has continued to work on this frustrating project is a mystery to me.I do admire his fortitude in facing this restoration. I can't bear to be anywhere near it, including photographing and writing about the work done by someone else! As I have digressed with this paragraph, I will try to focus in and get the documentation going again for all those who might be interested. ....here we go.....

When I last wrote of the project in August, the framing for the walls and new room layout was
standing but had not yet been covered with wallboard. I am not sure how many photos I have or how strong my documentation is, but I will now attempt to fill in the blanks from then to now. The photo at top is a look at the space established to create a new bathroom inside the existing space.  Part of this space was a half bath when we purchased the house. It was a pretty vile powder room with outdated and discolored fixtures. The bowls of toilet and sink were iron stained orange, they were the original 1960s pink toilet and sink. New basic fixtures were installed when we first moved in, but those fixtures have taken a beating in this renovation. The toilet had a large wrench fall on it, breaking it into many pieces.  A used toilet replacement also had its top shattered during work in the room. This whole project has been a "buster" from day one. Nothing was easy!
