Halls and Walls

We finished installing plywood on the floors upstairs.  Now it's time to build a couple of walls.

 
 
Originally, the house had 4 bedrooms, but the only entrance into the front bedroom, was through the back bedroom.  Often called a walk-through or a pass-through bedroom and only considered a half bedroom. Not convenient and technically not a true bedroom by realty standards. 

How do you fix that?  A hall and a door.


 

Now each bedroom has a standard door and the big bedrooms have an additional door between the rooms. 


 
For now, easy access to check on the baby or get a toddler to sleep in her own bed. 


But also an easy fix if the shared door was no longer wanted.

The electrician also stopped over to check on progress.  With the installation of the floor and the new walls, we have a better idea of locations for outlets and switches. He can return and start wiring.

Which means...insulation and dry wall on the second floor are not far behind.  Very exciting.
