a diversion...

You know of course that part of the addition involves a bathroom... I desperately wanted to put our jetted tub into said bathroom. That involved doing the following to the bathroom in the suite...
You are looking through the doorway to where the sink and vanity used to be. In the back corner there was a cupboard for linens, toiletries and various sundries.... Did you notice how the doorway is actually "doorway plus"? (There are a couple of feet of extra wall taken out of the bottom so that we could get the bathtub out of there...)

As you can see we didn't take the toilet out.... Beside the toilet is where the tub used to be...

Grace found a cheap, new shower stall on Craig's List with the hardware and everything. It's a nice big one - 36x36! We figured out that we would be able to get it into the bathroom since we already had to 'expand' the door opening..... Yeah, we can get it into the bathroom all right - the problem is we can't get it into the suite in the first place! The suite has two doorways - neither of which will allow the ingress of a 36x36 shower! But wait; all is not lost! Observe below:

If we take this window out and remove a few pieces of 2x4 we should be able to fit the shower stall into the suite. That's tomorrow's project...

All of this trouble and work for this:

Happy soaking! But, I would take off the hat.

Take off the hat indeed! It's like 35 degrees!

If only the sides of the tub were higher...

oddly enough, you're not the first person to mention that...

Looks like the turkey went straight to your chest.

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Didn't know you were a bathtub sort of guy, Al. This sheds some new light on my perception of you.;-)

Yeah, I'm a soaker by nature...
