Upstairs Bath
This room was a bedroom and we suspect it may have originally been a nursery prior to the "renovation" in the 1980s which turned it into the master bath complete with plastic tub/shower unit and cultured marble vanity. To prevent lowering the ceiling in the room below, sections of the floor step up into the bath and WC areas. It's interesting, but we don't care for the function of it and there's a lot of wasted space. Unlike homes of today, we don't feel it necessary to have all this wasted space. Our future plans are to drop the ceiling in the room below a few inches to accommodate the plumbing and divide the bath into two functional baths -one to service the master suite, and one to service the other 2 bedrooms on this end of the house. There was a second bath on this floor, but it was in need of repair and squaring up, so we gutted it and will be turning it back into a bedroom, thus the need for a second bath upstairs. Our plan is to move the clawfoot tub from the downstairs master bath to the upstairs master bath. Seems to make better sense and be more functional than for the spaces available. Besides, a more period bath for the master bedroom seems appropriate.
A cautionary tail
Sears has a horrible business ethic! We have been waiting for two weeks for our washer to be repaired; two weeks of dirty clothes mounting… which is now a mountainous rotting pile. I called again today for our next appointment... after already paying a man 65 to come out and tell us what we already knew was wrong… and informed us it would be 250 more and another week and a half wait to get it fixed... OMG! So, I washed things by hand in a big plastic tub, courtesy my childrens' toy tub. I used boiling water, washing powder, bleach and broom’s handle to stir the soiled clothes. Rinsed them and rung them out all by hand. Let’s just say it was not easy! But I must say I feel kinda proud of my work... I did it all without a machine to help me... is that weird...lol! Screw Sears and there “great service”
