Saturday #2

Jordan and Joy (and Lydia) came up this weekend to help us get some more work done in the basement. They came Friday night after supper and stayed through Sunday after fellowship lunch at church. Friday evening Jameson and Jordan pounded out the brick above the north doorway while Joy and Lydia and me went on a walk to get away from the noise. Saturday Jameson and Jordan worked on some more framing and replaced the brick by the doorways. They got the rest of the east wall by the doorways framed, went to Lowes and got two doors and framed around one of the doors, and got one more wall in the bedroom framed. By the time they got all that done it was getting late and they were out of lumber, so they called it a day. I wasn't good about getting actions pictures, but here's a couple pictures of what they finished.





I enjoyed spening the day with Joy. We painted the gold colored curtain rods that were left with the house white for the nursery and black our bedroom and the guest bedroom. We also did some planning for our 2nd annual camping trip coming up in two weekends.

Monday we got a new water heater and furnance put in along with some duct work moved. We also purchased more lumber and brought that downstairs, took down the clothesline that was hanging in the basement (by an excesive amount of nails) and decided on a layout for the bathroom (we think).


Here you are standing in the 'bedroom'. The 'doorway' to the bathroom is on the right and the 2x4's represent what will be walls. To help us visualize things, the cabinet is serving as the 'vanity', the laundry cart is the 'toilet', and the flat boards are the 'shower'.

This picture is from the other end. This layout should allow us to put in two doors, so you can access the bathroom from the bedroom or from the laundary / storage room (the 2nd door will between the shower and the water heater).
