We officially passed final plumbing inspection, and I finally (wait, let me move one more candle) have things arranged. Hop on into the post for all the final reveal pics!
Addition Bathroom | Final Reveal
Addition Bathroom | Tiling Walls
We’re done with the floor, now onto tiling the walls! We have a lot of tile in here and it’s making a big splash. Follow along for the final weeks of this bathroom build.
Addition Bathroom | Tile and In-floor Heat
We’re onto my favorite leg of the race — tiling! It’s so gratifying to see your tile in place. The couple who tiles together smiles together. 🙂
Addition Bathroom | Insulation, Sheetrock and Prep
The bathroom is well underway! Most projects are like icebergs — the bulk of work happens under the surface, before a room starts looking like a room. Read all about our plans (and subsequent changes to plans), challenges and design ideas.
Addition | Final Framing
With the framing wrapping up, come get a sneak peek inside!
Addition | Extending the Chimney
It was not an easy decision, but we’re so glad we kept our wood-burning fireplace. Extending the chimney was quite an ordeal, but it’s sure keeping us toasty!
Addition | Roof Trusses Part 2
We saw insane progress over the month. From walls to a roof in record time.
Happy New Year: 2019
Word for the Year and Reading List
My tradition of choosing a guiding word for the year is going strong. This year has been jam-packed and there are no signs of slowing.
Addition | Roof Trusses Part 1
Without a doubt, the best day of renovation so far was getting our lumber delivery for the big ol’ roof trusses. The roof went up pretty quickly as shown in this little video.
