the lacuna

Hey!

Check it out...my 'bathroom to be' has floor joists...



and a floor!



Here's my hard working man in our 30' dumpster full of old room,



and if you look behind him here you can see a little of the 'archaeology' of our house:



What I don't have pictures of (because it's too depressing) is the damage we found upon our return from Wisconsin from the leaking plumbing in the ceiling of ONE OF THE TWO ROOMS IN OUR HOUSE THAT ARE ACTUALLY FINISHED. Or it was finished. Now it has a full corner (including walls/ceiling/floor) that needs repairs.

what Genna's doing

See that giant hole Genna's standing in? That's my house!

We (read: Genna) are/is in the process of renovating our Nastiya's bedroom and our second bath. The giant lacuna he's standing in used to be the bathroom and hall, through the wall behind him is Nastiya's room. As usual, the demolition stage went quite a bit farther than we had planned. When the rotten bathroom floor was removed, the joists underneath looked like they had been cobbled together from junk found on the side of the road. Also, we could see that the foundation was not level and needed extra support in some areas.

He has about three work weeks available before Nastiya arrives for the summer, so wish us luck!
