With the office complete, it’s time to start one of the most significant transformations of the house to date. The bathroom is a look back in time and presents a unique issue of me being able to do the work. As there is only a single bathroom in the house, I have to bring a …
As with all the rooms, the hall and dining room are worn out and need an overhaul. The hallway between the bedrooms is short and only has a couple of small obstacles.
