I planned on remodeling the kitchen a year ago January but was informed that our Goddaughter's wedding was in April and Patti was baking the cookies for the cookie table. 2020 being what it was scraped the wedding plans. Decided to redo the first floor bathroom instead. Me personally I wanted to eliminate it and use the space in the kitchen but with family members getting older we have the need so it stays. Original owners paneled this room and covered a window in the back wall and then build a closet on that wall. When looking at the back of the house you'll see two windows & a door, more than once the missing window came up in conversation. We decided to make a true water closet and use the extra space and window in the kitchen. The window next to the closet was removed. Upper shelf held more games that it was rated for. I cut the wall into the kitchen to give her the feel of what 40 sq. ft. of additional space could feel like. Insulated and temporary wall cover since June. Removed the door jam instead of the frig door. Moving forward to 2021 and we are ready to start fresh. Removed all the underlayment & flooring. Back of the house faces west & door leads to enclosed back porch. We use it more for a pantry and rarely went out the back door, side door was easier. After several days we are at our goal and an empty room. Start new framing next week.

My wife worked hard sorting through the boxes of porcelain tiles, from HD, so that we only used the “pretty” tiles. I wanted to have a “mirror image” corner and we did not want to have vertical gap lines near each other between the 2nd row and the decorative tiles. She also wanted some of the tiles rotated 45 deg. We used approx. 132 6” x 6” tiles and I had to cut all but 16 of them. Used 1/16 spacers. Yea it is complete! My wife is happy, so I am happy. Danl It
