Part II -- The Bedroom

I haven't posted here since January but suffice to say we got the rest of the bathroom up and running. Sheet rock is all there but not textured. Shower and all fixtures work. We enjoy our bath. I'll try to fill in the blanks between January and early February when Tom took a contract job in Illinois.

In May Tom came back from Springfield with tentative plans to haul us all up north for the summer. Unfortunately business had fallen off so we seem to find ourselves with a little extra free time. What better occasion to do more things to the house?

The main problem we all have with the house at this point is a lack of privacy. David has taken to using the car as a reading room, and there are frequent disputes about who gets to do his schoolwork in a quiet room and who has to go outside. After drawing up elaborate plans for several additional rooms -- additional bedrooms, a master bath, a workshop and office, etc., we decided to split the kids' bedroom into two rooms and bump out the back wall to add square footage. This change won't affect other changes we plan to make later on.
