At this very moment, we are awaiting the arrival of the wrecking crew to get started on the bathroom tear down and renovation, so we can rent unit one and move into unit two. I am full of trepidation.
So...what we're doing. We originally had a tiny, tiny "bedroom" (not legal -- it's roughly 9.5' X 12') adjacent to aclosetlike hovel of a bathroom (12' x 5', with the bath tub, sink, and toilet in line -- the sink is garbage and tiny, and the tub has a weird offset. but we might be able to reuse the plain jane toilet) with a dropped ceiling. We're now turning these two into a) a second-floor laundry which opens off the hallway by means of bifold doors and b) an L-shaped bathroom in which the original bathroom now only contains a vanity and toilet and the prior bedroom includes only the tub/shower combo and a closet.
Complicating matters are issues like having to work around a dropped ceiling and sheetrock sheathing. Oh, and the fate of the kitchen hangs in the balance, as well. Well, sorta. If we do well, budgetwise, then I can really do a lot to the second-unit kitchen. If not, I'll be repainting and replacing the floor and sticking appliances in it and moving on.
So, um, wish us luck! And does anyone have suggestions for places to buy fixtures?
