After a fun-filled weekend at the wedding of Amanda and Patrick, Alok and I returned to plan out the bathrooms at the house. The plumber should start tomorrow! So, maybe soon (like 1-2 months), we'll have a workable bathroom. In the meantime, we have to figure out where all of the fixtures will go in the laundry room and all of the bathrooms (we'll have 4 or 5 fulls and 1 or 2 halfs.... Alok and I are still debating on one of those!). The goal is to get one of the half baths set (the one under the stairs), as well as our master bath prior to move in. We'll just drywall the others and have the plumbing ready to go when we have the time and money to fix them up.
Before we get into the exciting world of bathrooms, here is a look at the outside of the house:
Just a few downed branches. We keep hoping that one would just take out the house, but instead we just get these mini-branches falling. Just kidding! Our luck a big tree will take out part of it once the renovations are complete.
We also found this:
A lovely broken window from the front living area to the flagstone patio. I think this hinged window gave out due to all the construction and flipped down, shattering. Just another thing to replace!
Here is the bathroom under the stairs (half bath):
Alok marking it out
The words on the right side are for the sink and the x straight ahead is for the toilet. That was a pretty easy one!!
On to the next one, the full bath in the apartment:

Alok is standing where the shower or shower/tub combo will be (although it will be small)
On to our master bath:
Alok standing in the area that was a closet and will now be a shower
The view from standing in the shower. The vanity will be on that wall to the right and the toilet will be straight ahead on the other side of the vanity. There will also be a huge bathtub to my left when you step out of the shower, but I couldn't get a pic. The entrance to the bathroom is to the back left of Alok.
Now this bathroom was the most difficult:
The hallway bathroom! We went back and forth between using a clawfoot tub and a separate shower and not. I was for the separate, Alok was for not using the tub and doing a combo.
The tub in question... obviously, it's needs refinishing
These black marks are from dragging that clawfoot tub to every possible place in the bathroom.
We finally figured it out! Alok is marking the shower, which is when you walk in the door. The clawfoot is against the wall on the other side of the shower, a toilet is in the back corner and a vanity is to your immediate right when you walk in.
In other news, Alok cleaned out this nasty area that was behind the yellow bedroom and next to the laundry room:
Nice and clean.
The last room of decisions was the laundry room. The laundry room has a pretty set place for the washer and dryer, but we are adding a double sided, kitchen-like sink here:
This was from This Old House. It's good for handwashing. Also, we are making this a massive storage area with cabinets everywhere when we get there. This is actually the size of a bedroom, but it will just continue to be a massive laundry room.
Speaking of the laundry room, we found this in the corner:
More freaking water damage! 10 points to whoever can figure that one out. And you know, points are worth a lot!!
I had high hopes of laying everything out in paint, but that didn't happen. My graphic design skills just aren't up to par.
More to come soon!
