Baby Steps

Update: There have been two more baby steps completed, but nothing photo-worthy.We took a few weeks off while Meg's mom was in town. Aaron did remove the very last piece of 2 x 4 that was standing in the way. I think we have a date for May 7th to install the new fan and finish framing in the door. Life is just busy.

We didn't get quite as much done the other night as we'd hoped, partly because we had to make yet another trip to Lowe's. The kid that helped us assured us the 36" door measurement included the frame - he was wrong and we were one inch wider than we could fit in the 36" space, so we swapped for a 32" door. Meg was hoping to have the bathroom lights wired and working before her Mom came to visit this weekend, but our extra trip to Lowes and struggle with the vent fan kind of sucked up the entire evening. Although we didn't get as far as connecting the new vent/light fixture, we DID finally get the old one removed, which was quite a feat. It's now covered with plastic to keep the nasty insulation from coming into the house. We did get some initial framing done and nailed in one side of the door frame.

Meg takes a seat and imagines how wonderfully spacious her new bathroom will be!
And here's the beginning of a new view from the master bath. Isn't that a cute door? Meg's getting pretty excited about being able to have the door closed and no light on when Aaron gets ready for work each morning. ;) Hopefully next week we'll be able to finish framing in the door and hang some sheetrock!! After grandma leaves town, of course!Guest posted by Kasey

Hey... nice progress! And thanks Kasey for "guest blogging"!
I was scared when you had the wrong door size that you wouldn't get the same cute door. Glad to see you didn't have to compromise!
