Putting in the bathroom closet and new hallway

 Tyler started working on framing in the new closet in the bathroom. You can see in the picture below the closet space with no back. There will be a bottom section with double cupboard doors where we will probably put a laundry basket. The upper part will have shelves and will be where we put our towels and extra supplies.

 Here is the new bathroom doorway framed in with some sheet rock in place.

 We had to move several light switches in the process. The new ones here will be for the overhead lights and fan. There will be another switch by the sink for an over mirror light.

 This is the new hallway being started. It is in our 3rd bedroom/tv room so that room will lose a little space but will still be fairly large.

 Below you can see the end of the hallway. We will put a small closet here too to add more storage. The outlet will be on the bedroom wall and the closet will fill in the space facing you in the picture.

This is a view from inside the bedroom with the wall partially covered.

Framing new upstairs doorway

We have started reworking the upstairs hallway by cutting in the new door to the guest bedroom. First up was cutting the new hole in the wall.

An electrical outlet had to be moved for the new door location.

A header is added and the opening is rough framed.

Some of the old fir boards are used to fill in the door threshold.

Lastly the trim off the old opening is put on the new opening.

 

Here is a picture from inside the bedroom showing the "new" door on the right and the "old" door on the left.

Reworking upstairs layout

We have been trying to figure out the upstairs layout and how to get some more room for the bathroom (which is the room in the bottom center of the image). You can see that it is pretty small right now and we are looking at being about to add about 16 more square feet to it but is it worth redoing all of the walls? What do you think?
