A New Bathroom for the Boathouse

As soon as the foundation repairs were done, Deric got to work installing a bathroom on the second floor of the boathouse.  He leveled the floor and rebuilt the roof and dormer to accommodate a wall of windows.  We'll have a view of the lake when we sit on the john.  Plans called for a walk-in shower, large closet and plenty of warm space to dress on a cold morning.






Karen's contribution was to reuse the old sliding stable door.  She had lots of help from Jerry who helped haul the door upstairs and mount in on the hall wall.

Still some work to do in 2014, but the look is there.
 Here's what it looked like before.



Also a photo of another of Karen's re-purposed projects.
Deric promises to have the floor laid before Karen and I return in May 2014 to install wood walls, ceiling and window/door trims.  Should be ready for our summer visits.
