A Second Bathroom I

This modern house has two similar bathrooms with wooden ceilings and double paned metal windows. Both will have the same floating high gloss white vanities and large white floor tiles, but this one will have an electric heated floor.


Leif and Bill have just laid the Ditra Floor Heating matt to be wired soon. White subway tile will be installed in the tub surround.


First a new drain pipe was installed in the cement slab here which can connect to the laundry room with a pipe run behind the tub. Access to the exit pipe was through the adjacent storage area. Lovely to have nice new pipes and sheet rocked & insulated walls before tiling!












Wired!

Each piece unique & spectacular.

A 1717 Living Room

 

Old Farm's living room is a 12' square built around 1717 and now furnished for maximum seating, comfort and fun in such a small space.



Adding warmth...


The adjacent kitchen wood stove heats the entire downstairs and a cord of seasoned white oak was just delivered.


All three rooms here have fireplaces.
