Japanese house # 5

"The contractors are coming! The contractors are coming!" I gotta get outta their way. Sneaking in a few shots in the meantime. Office floor goes in, demolition starts and the bath system gets installed. These guys work fast: Demolition and framing were done in a few days and the unit bath was assembled in one or two days.

I was left with a raw ceiling in the bathroom and no vanity. "Just leave it I will do it!" I will get a cushion floor and washer machine drip pan before they leave.

"and i'll be touching up upstairs at night for a couple of hours every night so i dont interfere with them in the bathroom."

[Kfreeks]

Very nice!

So, how's the project going?

Happy new year!

Great set of vids! I'm slowly learning how to do this myself but my main worry is moisture, and lowering the humidity levels in the house for a healthier life.

Cool stuff, man.

The workspace that used to be a closet (where you have your hatch) put a light on the overhang - that would make a perfect computer work area.

I can't get over the fact their electrical code doesn't require a ground on every receptacle.

You have to be careful at this point, if you make too much progress in too little time, Bob Villa's henchmen may pay you a visit.
