I’m beautiful positive the doorway to the bed room suite appears to be like precisely because it did on the finish of final 12 months. I beginning putting in the brand new French doorways in December, however I nonetheless haven’t completed the ones. That will likely be the very first thing I do in order that I will if truth be told shut the doorways and stay Cooper and Felicity out of this space of the home because the paintings starts. At this time, they are able to each simply push the doorways open and get into this space.

To the fitting is the doorway to the visitor toilet, which should keep right here for the close to long term. When all is claimed and achieved, the doorway into this loo will likely be moved out of the bed room suite and this loo will likely be obtainable by the use of a hallway at the different aspect of the toilet.

To the left, simply within the bed room suite, is the entrance to what’s going to be the massive walk-in closet and laundry room combo. I had the door utterly got rid of, and I had the entrance focused at the wall of that room and unfolded as top as it might move with no need to take away the highest plates of the burden bearing wall. I’ve a imaginative and prescient for this, however it’s too laborious to provide an explanation for with out illustrations, so y’all will almost certainly simply have to attend and spot it because it involves truth.

As a result of that room will likely be a closet, and I didn’t wish to have to regulate the cupboards to make room for a mild transfer, I had them transfer the sunshine transfer to the out of doors of the room. Take a look at this drywall dust state of affairs. 🙁 This is likely one of the issues I’ll need to right kind (or utterly redo) myself. (For those who overlooked the day prior to this’s submit about my contractor saga, you’ll be able to see it right here: The Contractor Saga – The Rest of The Story)

And right here’s the state through which the contractor left this room. The excellent news is that the massive stuff if truth be told did get achieved. The room has a brand new vapor barrier below the ground, new insulation below the ground, and a brand new subfloor.

I did make a minor alternate to my authentic plans. As an alternative of getting the washing machine and dryer in combination at the proper aspect, I had the hookup for the washing machine positioned within the again proper nook…

And the hookup for the dryer positioned within the again left nook…

I did this to stay as a lot room as conceivable to be had for the real closet portion of the room. The washing machine and dryer will likely be going through each and every different, and the doorways to each will open against the wall. To start with, I used to be involved that there can be an excessive amount of area between them and it might be rather a trek to get the garments from the washing machine to the dryer. However after I marked out the scale at the wall, I spotted that they’d if truth be told be shut sufficient to one another with most effective the width of the window plus a couple of inches keeping apart the 2. You’ll see my marks at the wall appearing the place the entrance of each and every one will land at the wall.

However once I made that adjust, I spotted that I additionally desire a water hookup for my dryer as it has a steam serve as. The dryer got here with a diversion hookup this is meant to divert water from the washing machine hookup. However that diverter most effective works when the 2 home equipment are side-by-side. With the 2 home equipment in utterly separate corners, that intended that I wanted an absolutely separate hookup for the dryer. That’s an addition to the checklist that I added later, and it if truth be told were given achieved!

There are two issues for the dryer that didn’t get achieved, regardless that. First, I’ll want to set up the hole for the dryer. Fortunately, the wiring is already there, so I simply want to connect an outlet. And 2nd, the vent for the dryer nonetheless must be put in. I’ve been observing movies on YouTube appearing easy methods to set up dryer vents, and it appears to be like beautiful simple and simple, so I’m certain I will do this alone.

Right here’s the present view having a look again against the door of the walk-in closet. It’s a large number presently.

And the remainder of this in reality hasn’t modified since I confirmed you final. Not anything has been achieved, and not anything has modified within the bed room portion of the suite. Right here’s the doorway into the bed room the place I had them take away the door utterly and open up the entrance to the ceiling.

After which I’ll provide you with a handy guide a rough glance across the room, even supposing I’m beautiful positive you’ve noticed all of this already on the finish of final 12 months. As I mentioned, I don’t suppose the rest has modified in right here over the past 3 weeks.

I did come to a decision to stay the breaker field on this room. I don’t love the theory of getting the breaker field in our bed room, however I do like that this provides me fast and simple get admission to to the breaker field in case of emergency. And I additionally like that preserving it right here saves me about $3000 that I will use against different initiatives. I’m 100% assured that I will conceal or quilt the field in some way that it received’t display whilst nonetheless giving me simple get admission to to it. However I can indisputably be shifting the attic get admission to out of this room and into the hallway. (Through the best way, a few of you had the theory of calling that space the “vestibule” now, and I in reality like that concept. That sounds higher than “hallway”.)

And after all, right here’s the glance again against the doorway to the bed room suite (i.e., the vestibule 😀 )…
