December came to us with relatively warm weather, for an Iowa winter. It has stayed pretty reasonable this entire winter so far. We have had some snow, but I think we shoveled twice. This being the case, many of these photos will look like spring, and we are happy for the sunshine!!
We have begun the last major huge ginormous home improvement project before getting on the list for adoption. The project is turning our office and extremely small powder room into a bathroom with a shower, and an office with insulation and without paneling.
Destruction: tear out all the paneling, the suspended ceiling, and the closet. We tried to leave in the bathroom as long as possible.
Suspended ceiling down.
Paneling gone.
Closet gone. Aren't you doing any work, Vahid? Why don't I take the pictures?
Better. Behind the paneling there was the... lovely black glue on lovely green wallpaper, and a box.
And inside the box was... the furnace duct work and another box! Oooooooooo, wallpaper!!
And inside this box was...
Cast iron sewage pipe stuffed with lovely rags due to an apparent leak up top. Yum.
Ceiling and walls a comin' down. The tiny bathroom still stands.
Behind three of the walls was something unexpected.
Horizontal wood paneling. Behind that added layer, is where the old insulation lurks.
But that is for after December.
