after...

carpet leading to the backyard = no bueno. 

this.. this right here.. is a dream come true... 

  

 The little bathroom was leaking sewage up the toilet & had water seaping through the wall from a leaky pipe. (groossss!! )...which is no problem if you have a mallot & a contractor telling you where the studs are.. "ok.. hit there!" The vanity was beyond repair.. practically crumbled off the wall. =( 

it was actually really fun to demo the bathroom. The dry wall behind it  (that connects to the other bathroom) is still pretty moldy and rotten, and will eventually have to go too..  but , one wall at a time. 

The little bathroom is out of order for a while, and .. i didnt realize how much we actually used that damn bathroom until it was gone! The four of us, with one sink, and one electric toothbrush (with interchangeable heads!) , is a pretty priceless scene.  

 Our buddy Andrew saved the day & fixed the pipes! 

this guy can do anything!!! and he is damn good at it.  check him out.. Strong built construction

and... the ever so talented creative Katy came in yesterday to measure and brainstorm with me. what do you think!?

 Have I mentioned how blessed we are to be surrounded by such generous, talented, awesome, incredible, amazing, helpful friends? we are so lucky&gratefull. =)
