Upstairs Bathroom and Dormer
_______________________________________________ November 3, 2008
![]() This is looking into the bathroom from one of the bedrooms during demolition. The wall between the rooms needs to move, so we had to take it out. ![]() After tearing out the wall between the bathroom and attic. We also had to reframe some of the floor to make room for the toilet drain pipe. ![]() The new floor framing for the toilet drain, and also the rerouted plumbing vent pipe (black pipe) and heating duct. The red and blue pipes are the water lines coming up from downstairs. ![]() A closer view of the new framing around the toilet drain pipe. After the walls are in, we'll finish the drain pipes. ![]() The new subfloor fitted and temporarily screwed down so we can still remove it and get to the plumbing. ![]() Here is the back of the house before cutting the roof open. ![]() Brooke working on getting the shingles and roof sheathing off. This was one of the last nice sunny days... ![]() This is after we installed the new rafters on each side of the dormer. We had to put in four 2x8s on each side to support the load of the dormer and roof. ![]() These are the four 2x8s, and some of the electrical that was in the old walls. We still haven't moved the cables out of the way... ![]() We built the front wall on the ground, then lifted it up onto the roof, and put it in place. ![]() Looking into the bathroom from the hall. Brooke is standing on the roof over the family room. ![]() We had a couple hours of sun the other day and actually got to take the tarps off while we worked on the side walls. ![]() We've actually finished all the roof framing now, but this is the last picture I have. More to come soon... |
