Bedroom 2 of Pony House used to be entered through the Kitchen. This seemed like an odd arrangement, even to Hick. So he closed off the kitchen/bedroom portal, and put in a new entrance to Bedroom 2 by creating a short hallway past the Laundry Room.
Here is Bedroom 2, looking from the Kitchen. The Pony's new refrigerator would be located in the area on the right of this opening, which is now closed. You can see Bathroom 2 in the back right corner, and the area that is now a covered back porch through those 2x4s.
Still standing in the kitchen, here's the wall where the previous flipper had framed to cover over with drywall. Hick made it the new door to get to Bedroom 2.
This area became the hallway to Bedroom 2. The left side was closed in to make the Laundry Room. The new water heater sits where the furnace was. The new furnace has its own room, off the Kitchen, where a corner of the large Living Room was used.
Sadly, neither Hick nor Pony show much love for Bedroom 2. I had to scramble to find a picture. Or two. One of them shows a brief glimpse of Bedroom 2, in the background of this hallway.
Yeah. Hick loves his paint more than he loves Bedroom 2. You can at least see that the walls and ceiling and window are done. And there's the tiny thin door used for a tiny thin cabinet to cover the main electric box for Pony House.
Here's a picture showing off the floor of Bedroom 2, and the finished closet and door. The closet is on the right, the bedroom door to the hall is on the left. The drywall is hung, but still needed taping and paint. This angle was from the door of Bathroom 2.
Not sure what The Pony was showing me in this picture of Bedroom 2. Maybe that the floors were done. Maybe that Hick had taken over the room as his workshop. There's one of the rugs rolled up under the window.
Such a dearth of show-offy pictures. It seems that Bedroom 2 is the red-headed stepchild of Pony House!
TOMORROW: We conclude our tour of Pony House with Bathroom 2.
The pony could rent out his second bedroom for added income. Or not. The pony doesn't seem like a sharer of space. The little house is very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe only person he would consider sharing Pony House with is 2nd Bestie, his friend from college, who will graduate this year. She probably isn't aware of that! She wouldn't mind that it's not the Taj Mahal. She ate a year-old cookie off the floor of The Pony's car!
DeletePerhaps bedroom 2 could house a desk and be used as an office, a place for The Pony to keep his records and files and a safe.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. I will suggest it to The Pony. Right now he has his "important papers" in a bottom drawer of the dresser with the two mirrors in his Master Bedroom.
