Building walls around me

View of bedroom wall and bathroom in the background

This week Gilles has been working hard on erecting the interior walls upstairs. As per his schedule, he should be finished with the upstairs today. There are 2 types of interior walls. First, there are the interior walls that are part of the insulation system. Then, there are the walls that divide the space. For, I am getting very excited to see the divisions. It gives a great idea of what the living space will be like. I am loving the results. In my mind, it is as if I am already living there. The more time I spend there, the more I love the feeling, the openness and the proximity to nature.

Shower stall and bathroom view

So far, the bathroom has been enclosed. The shower base is in place. There will be a glass door and 3 sides will have ceramic. On the right of it will be the stackable washer and dryer. Overall, the bathroom is on the West side of the house. The bathtub will be below the window for extra light and to be able to enjoy the view of the outdoors. There will be 2 pocket doors: one accessible from the bedroom and one just as you go up the stairs.

Straight ahead you can see the bedroom wall. On one side we will have our bed against the wall with our bedroom lights. There will only be 2 walls dividing the space. In front of the bed, we will be able to lay in bed and view the beautiful outdoors with all the windows. On the North side, we will have a large armoire divide the space between the bedroom and the crafting room (sewing, knitting, etc). When the bathroom is not in use, we can leave the pocket door open for maximum light and outdoor exposure.



Tomorrow, Gilles will start working on the downstairs. Lots more to do, but it is feeling more and more like a home everyday. There are a few deadlines looming: in early January, they will come and measure for the kitchen cabinets and at the end of January, Steve will come back for a repeat of habitat for Sutton.
