Missional Moudy: WC Remodel

It's been quite a long time since I updated my blog, so I thought I'd post a few more pictures of the progress in the bathroom. I've been able to make some relatively steady progress and things are starting to shape up! These pictures are from 2 weekends ago while Jill was out of town. I was able to get all the sheetrock finished and textured! Last weekend nothing much happened since it was Avery's birthday and Jill's folks were here.

Since I was going to be doing texture, and it is SO messy, I decided to go ahead and do the bedroom and closet while I was at it. So - it took A LOT of blue tape and plastic to keep all the flying texture off the things I didn't want textured!

Looking into the closet - I had to add sheetrock on the back wall of this closet. When that wall was added to create the hall bathroom (10 years ago according to the date and signatures written on the studs) they never finished the job. Now its done and textured to boot!

The bedroom door and air conditioning vent hole. Lots of patching was done to cover up all the cracks and dents. This room had no texture on the walls so you could see every little hole and dent.

Like I said, lots of tape and plastic.

It was REALLY messy! Everything was coated in fine powder dust from sanding the sheetrock. I found out too late you can wet sand sheetrock and avoid this!

This hole in the bathroom will be filled with a set-in linen cabinet. I had to use the stud space inside the wall so the cabinet would set back enough to clear the door opening. That was after making the door 6" narrower and adding that length to the wall you see here beside the blue tape.

Once I got the texture runny enough to flow through the machine, it worked great and went fast. My arms were sore for days from holding up 20 lbs of mud above my head!

Looking into the bathroom from the Master Bedroom. On the right, where all the white is, there used to be a door leading to the staircase. Not anymore!
