Finally they started on the bathroom. They put down cement before they lay the floor. Carolyn, the tile guy was Jim Miller. Brian Miller's uncle. They look exactly alike! They talk alike and they even walk alike. It was like talking to Brian himself! :-)
This is the new floor.
Then he tiled the walls. Mom is counting the days till she can have her first bath.
Mom and Dad start the project of building and egress window wall. That's Paul K.showing us how to get started. He showed us what to do and then we would do it.
Here's mom working in the hole. HOT, SUNNY and BUGGY!! Notice the sweatband. See the blue tarp. Next picture explains it.
This is what happened to the hole we dug after a 3 1/2 inch rain! It filled up and came through the window!!!
Dad is soooo smart he used the tubing from Paul's fish tank to syphon out the water from the hole. It had already started coming through the walls and going down to the drain in the laundry room. That's the reason for the blue tarp! Now in order to fix the problem we have to put a new roof on the top of the upstairs bedrooms and new gutters!! And to think this all started by remodeling the bathroom! Geez!
Dad used Paul K's saw to cut the bricks. Lots of work.
Nice job ?
Work in progress. We didn't know it would be so much work.
Look who's helping. See mom?
It's taking shape. Now they put the molding in place and the closet doors.
The bookcases are in place.
That's it for now.....
