Let the natural light in.

Here are the glass pocket doors from the previous post.

Open concept split level

We removed walls, closets, doors for two rooms. Replaced them with flush beams to support the roof rafters. Then we framed in pocket doors to the existing bathrooms, installed glass doors, trimmed it out, painted throughout. After opening the walls up we found poor electrical connections, poor insulation and mold caused from the poor insulation. As an added feature, to eliminate the railing costs we built this decorative kneewall on either side of the stairwell.

No basement bathroom drainage remedied.

We removed the old corroded cast drainage and replaced it with ABS. From the stack-two floor drains-a tub- a sink. The existing Basement Bathroom had no proper gravity feed drainage, the water and waste was pumped out.

Cork flooring

Cork is a perfect product to install over existing subflooring no extra prepararion needed. It is warm under foot, easy to clean and will repel water. The only downfall, it scratches easily. At least with kittens!
