Phase I: Master Bedroom.a.

Master Bedroom:
Located on the E wall (contrary to the little compass that I can not figure out how to change... grumble) of the 2nd floor. Originally two bedrooms, by removing a wall they will be combined into the Master Bedroom (the second bedroom will also be partially used to expand the Family Bath).
Floorplan:
Changes have already evolved from this floorplan (created before deconstruction in January): we are omitting the built-in closet in the Master Bedroom, and opting for a wardrobe instead. We are so open.to.process.

Features:
Sunporch. We moved in and immediately began to seal the windows & doors for energy efficiency, so as of yet, I have not stepped foot into this sweet-little-cherry-ontop of a Sunporch. All good things...

Deconstruction:
Removing the lathe & plaster walls between the two bedrooms was messy: 10,000 bucketloads of refuse were carried down a flight & 1/2 of stairs (thanks, teenager!).  

Upon changing the load bearing wall, we discovered that sistering the ceiling joists would be a capital idea. Much more plaster & lathe travelled down the stairs. Yay?

Next Up:
Reconstruction:
Moving the Bath wall & laying/repairing sub-floor. Electrical, drywall, paint and flooring. We are laying in wait to complete Phase I of this project before advancing... oh time/money!

Dreams:
In the meanwhile... I'm dreaming Zen bubbles of a Sunporch morning meditation (le sigh)!
