Pics In the Hall

More framing was done at Pony House last week. Hick and his buddy put up walls for the hall bathroom, the utility room, and the furnace room.

 

This is the toilet set in place for measurement purposes, in the hall half-bath. It will have a pedestal sink opposite, in the area where the picture-taking Hick was standing. It's 36 inches wide, and maybe six feet long? Just a place for guests to relieve themselves and/or wash hands without traipsing through a bedroom. Hick says the floor in here is fine, just needs scrubbing and sealing. Not sure about his plans for the walls.

 

That's Hick's buddy hard at work on the half-bath wall. The ladder is where the toilet goes. On the other side of that old patchy wall is the shower area of the Master Bathroom, and the expanded part of the Master Bedroom.

 

After the half-bath was framed, Hick and his buddy blocked in the utility room across the hall from it. The water heater and washer and dryer will be in the utility room. It will have an accordion door. Beside it is the hallway to get to Bedroom 2.

 

Here's a look at the hallway, taken from the living room. Half-bath on the left, utility room on the right, just past the hall that leads to Bedroom 2. I told Hick that hall looks narrow. He said it's standard, 36 inches. You can see the toilet sitting in the half-bath, but it's turned sideways right now, not hooked up!

 

This is the framing for the furnace room. It will take up part of the current living room, with a door to enter from the kitchen. The furnace room will contain the furnace and some shelves. The area where the sawhorses are sitting is a nook that Hick says would be great for a computer desk (or laptop desk, heh, heh). Someplace for The Pony to do his gaming and computing and bill-paying. OR he could put his TV on the wall where that board is leaning. It's the area by the hall to the back door.

Still a lot left to do, but Hick is happy to show off his progress.
