expanding the bathroom by 1/4"

Yes we widened our bathroom by 1/4"  —  We achieved this by replacing one wall of sheetrock with a smaller thickness of sheetrock. Complicated, eh? Acaully we did a lot of work. We removed a window — The bathroom had a window to the exterior before the original owners added on our living room. So the window looked out on the sheetrock of our living room. Exciting, eh?
Here is the window and the wall with icky old wallpaper paste.


After much cursing and banging Dan finally found the brackets that held the window in. The metal brackets were nailed to the frame of the house and bricked over. He could see all around the window - space between the window frame and the wall and still couldn't get it out because of the hidden brackets. Thanks to a hack saw and crow bar House 0 / Dan 1

Then Dan added shelves to our otherwise stroageless bathroom. This will be come increasingly important as our wee girl turns to a high maintenance teen! It looks beautiful.



So its not painted yet, but its a lot closer to being ready to paint than the past 2 years! I pulled wallpaper off the walls of the bathroom when I was pregnant and we've been living with icky wall paper paste on the walls for years!

So now we're breating some old plaster dust, but soon it will be all painted and beautiful. Lea will have the nicest bathroom on the block!

This work was done in 3 days around Thanksgiving. We just need a few more long weekends and it will be all finished!
