Finishing More Dry Wall

We decided to put up more drywall.  The picture shows the dormer from the originial house that we saved when we removed the second floor for a raised roof. A very nice sitting area already. This is the middle area that we were going to make into a separate sitting room no the second floor – between the North and South bedrooms. We liked the large area with the sitting room and South bedroom open to each other. It will be an art room for us when we are ready to move in.  (Another of our floor plan changes!) We’ll purchase a wardrobe at IKEA. The problem is that the hardwood floor we purchased will not be enough for the combined rooms.

We started to drywall the water closet area and realized we needed to finish the plumbing first so we could put in the ceiling drywall. (we need to have the plumbing inspection before we can cover it up.)

We moved then to the hallway and put up some drywall but again we were stopped by needing to     install the rest of the ceiling drywall first.

The unforeseeable

Shower stall on Slanted subfloor

We put 1/4″ plywood on the 1st floor bathroom floor and were about to install 1/2″ cement board. I suggested we bring in the shower base to check it all out and we discovered that the floor was not level. It took a few days for us to decide how to deal with this. We rearranged the bathroom completely. Steven will cut the stall, removing the left seat and to installed into our bump out at the other end of the bathroom, moving the sink cabinet and toilet to where the shower had been planned.

 

To correct the slant we will prime the plywood and pour leveling compound and then stop with 1/4″ cement board for ceramic tile installation.
