The Master Bedroom

Above the bed we strung up a wire to show our notes, cards and drawing to each other.

Sleeping in the Bedroom

So we now have a closet in the bedroom and get this...a bed in the bedroom. In some countries people actually sleep in their bedrooms (not the living room) and they keep their clothing in a closet in the bedroom. Wow we are really living large now. For Christmas we got a down comforter and the nice sheets so this is all icing on a pretty good cake.

Bedroom Flooring, Paint and switch plate covers too!

Today we finished the painting in the bedroom, started the flooring and hope to move in there on Monday night.

No Built in

We thought it best to leave the built in out of the project as the cost we may not recoup in the selling process. So I put a sheet of dry wall up there. Also today I finished framing up the closet in the bedroom. It will only be 60" wide, but the second bedroom will also have a closet. I ripped up all the bad flooring and patched it with new wood. Today I set new plywood on the bedroom floor. Things are really cooking now. I thought it would take about two weeks to complete this bedroom. It has been almost a month since I started the tear out to get to this point. I sure hope the final room of the house goes faster. I guess if a guy doesn't have to rip out a bathroom before he builds a bedroom maybe it goes faster.

First Coat of Mud on the walls

Today I was able to finally get the first coat of mud on the walls in the bedroom. Kristine's birthday was Saturday so we went bike riding and took the dog for a walk. I was going to fly her to Paris for the day but we decided to put the money into the house. ;) Hopefully I will be posting a painted bedroom this weekend.

Bye Bye Plumbing Wall

So the dry wall is almost complete in the bedroom. The plumbing wall is behind all that showing. The bedroom is wired up and have just a few more sheets of dry wall to hang. Then it's off to mudding the walls, ceiling and installing a 1-4 sub floor over all the floor. Then find a carpet, install it and move the bedroom in there so we will have living room. So now when guest come over we do not have to make the bed. :)
The other day my wife made this meal. Just a regular meal for her. It looked so nice I just had to photograph it.

The Bedroom door is in

Today I built a wall and put the bedroom door in. Now all I have to do is build out the walls ceiling and drywall them.

A hole in the wall

Today I want to put a new door way into a wall. Here is the front and back views of the wall before the hole.

Birthday Tear Out

So today I have taken out a few walls and opened up the space that is going to be the bedroom. I still need to take the cast iron tub and closet on the side out.
