The Exterior

We are making great progress! We had a great group last weekend work through the cold and the snow to get a lot of work done. The white metal trim work looks great and the house is much more cheerful and bright than the dull, over grown home we started with. 

The second floor bath posed some problems for the plumber since the waste water pipes had to run through floor framing that runs in two different directions. Nate had the great idea of putting the pipe through the space previously occupied by the top plates, saving us the hassle and clutter of adding a soffit in the living room. The soffit in the bedroom was a must, but a small price to pay for adding the second bath to the 1920's home.
