MIL Updates

Ben did most of the demo on the MIL apartment himself, while the rest of us were struggling upstairs. That's right. Sam + Cindy + Patrick + Craig + Sean + Elizabeth = 0.5(Ben). I don't know how to put in a less-than-or-equal-to sign, or that's what I would've used instead.

Picture below looks from the MIL entrance toward the back of the apartment. The living area still looks like one long room (and will remain so). On the right is where the bedrooms will be.


The kitchen (not completely demolished yet in this picture):


And the bathroom ...


Ben had to work quickly to fix up this bathroom, since he's legally required to provide such facilities for any sub-contractors. Plus, Ben needed a bathroom for himself while he's living/working in the unfinished house. We were hoping to use the original fixtures, but found them to be too damaged or stained to use. So we got a new toilet ...


... and a new tub. The sink is not new, but I think we're going to end up getting rid of that one. Originally we were thinking we'd transfer the pedestal sink to the half bathroom upstairs, but as I mentioned in a previous post, we needed to find something MUCH smaller for that space. I still want to get a sink with some storage underneath for the MIL bathroom, so I think it's bye bye pedestal.


There are still no walls around the bathroom. Just a sheet. Not ideal, but it works for now.
