WC progress

Here's a little update on the first days of the bathroom work. You will remember that, at long last, we are adding a half-bath to the attic/loft space. The plumber did a good deal of work behind the walls, installing water supply and drain lines. Then the builder started to add the framing for the room itself.

Here's the "before" shot. The plumber is already working in the closet space under the eaves.

Next, the plumber put in the support chassis for the suspended toilet. The builder will then frame that in and the plumber will hang the sink and its cabinet (once it's delivered). There's some minor electrical relocation that will be done for the light fixture and an outlet.

Part of the wall is framed (aluminum studs) and the toilet bracket (the blue frame) is in place.

Once all that is done, and the toilet is installed, the plumber will remove the downstairs toilet to connect everything. He'll replace it with a new suspended toilet and the builder will box that in as well. Then we'll see what finish work will need to be done. I think we're going to repaint the downstairs WC when the construction is complete.

And now it's looking like a room. Here's a nice shot of the builder and his partner as they were finishing up on Thursday afternoon.
