Reno Start

We've always talked about a way to add a third bathroom to our house, which would took on more urgency with Christo's birth, especially now with four boys. Bobbins and her dad started making some drawings and came up with a plan to make a new master suite on the east side of the house. We moved the girls out of their bedroom and made that ours, but added a new bathroom off what was their window. We would get rid of the rosary room and make that the new master closet. Bobbins' Dad estimated it would cost $40,000. With all the equity in our house, we re-fi'd and took cash out to pay for it. We couldn't have done it without Bobbins' Dad being our general contractor. He hired concrete guys, framers, a plumber, electrician, roofer, and tile guys. I was the painter.

Below are the shots of the initial start. We had to run a line along the back of the house to connect to the sewer. That square with the new foundation would be the new bathroom.
