Let there be Light.

Holy cow, it's been a busy few days. Michelle and the guys from Changing Spaces have been sheet-rocking, adding in all of the electrical and insulation. All of the lights are now in place and working! This is what the backyard has looked like for a while, I can't wait to get it cleaned up and back to normal once the project is over. This is looking from the backyard towards the new Huge master bath. You can also see the three framed spaces for the awning windows, they look cover red because the interior of the bedroom was sheet rocked in today. Once the windows come in, we'll open those back up to get the windows installed. We went with recessed can lights throughout the bedroom, closet, and bathroom and it looks great so far. Here you can see the doorways to the master closet that will be on either side of the master bed. Eventually we'll have built in shelves in there. This other shot is actually where the old master shower stood, and will now be more built ins for extra clothing storage., it really is turning out well.
If you recall, we had to dig up some of the concrete flooring to make room for the plumbers to do their stuff. Well they came and roughed in everything, so the other night we mixed up and put down another 800 lbs of concrete to fill in all of those holes we dug up. oohhhhh fun times for sure. Oh and for the record, wear gloves when doing cement work. I of course did not and happily played in the cement bare handed like a child making a mud pie. (notice Michelle is wearing gloves!) Well today the skin on my hands is "not pliable" anymore. In fact if I stretch it to open my hand, it simply splits apart. Dry to the nth degree. Not fun. Oh and that also goes for using spray expandable foam. That stuff is toxic and very sticky. I got some of that on my ungloved hands last week and it's still there, when I peel it off, skin comes with it. All of this is on the same hand I originally put a nail through. Yes, as a matter of fact I am feeling pretty dumb about now. So please learn from me.
Here is a shot of the interior of the closet, it's actually much larger than it appears. and then there is a shot of the wall that will contain the three awning windows to the outside. Here we put in some transitional lights.
Next up is finishing the insulation work, put the topping on the cement floor, install the tub surround, the shower curb and so on and so on... Stay tuned.
