Operation "Dad's here for a visit" - Phase 1

 So Dad has come to visit... yay!

I had to bribe him to come by telling him I wanted to install a new bathroom. So now that he is here... I have to install a new bathroom  :)

This house is a Frankenstein.  The original house was one bedroom farmhouse that was built in the 1930's.  Sometime after that, they made part of the front entry into a bathroom.  Sometime after THAT, they put some old decomissioned military housing on the back, enlarging the house.  That piece came with a porch, which they enclosed to make a utility room (canning kitchen, back in the day) with a storage room.  It is this storage room that I decided would make a good second bathroom.

Phase 1 of the project was to remove the shelves from the room.  I forgot to take a 'before' picture, but it is pretty easy to see from the paint marks what it was like:

For a second part of 'Phase 1' , Dad used the some of the shelves he took out of the storage room to make storage shelves in the utility room, including two nice shelves over the dye station.    They are great!  The unfortunate pastel green and blue is a result of 8 gallons of paint leftover from a project that never got started (is it still a leftover, if the project never happened?) .  And yes... waiting for paint to dry is as exciting as they say.  :P

New shelves... blue to the right, green to the left.
