I was thinking along similar lines.

There's a kiltless regiment out there somewhere, thanks to that room.

I've had a few threads over the years of house renovations I've accomplished since buying this home in 2007.

I've completed all but the FROG (finished room over garage.) About 6 months ago the boy moved out, again, and this time I sprang and took his "flop house" to the dump.

Sooooooooooo, with all that said, I'm pretty sure this will take me about 6 months to finish and once I do I'm pretty sure I will sell the house and most likely ex-pat somewhere.

The room is 24' by 15' so I have (and want if you have) some neat ideas for it.

I began by taking the carpet up (it is the only room left in the house with carpet) and this is what I found underneath. O to the M G.

Nice.

I had a rental before I bought my first house. late 1940s maybe 50's bungalow. Ugly, stained, dirty carpet with this baroque rose pattern on it. Hardwood floors underneath. People are stupid.

Och Lass, I think ye may be correct!

I seriously thought about it, thinking I could work something in the room to make it work, but, what the previous owners did was..........cut back 2" from the wall and put tack strip down to hold the carpet I took up AND the biggest bitch was they GLUED that horrific material to the subfloor......

I had to come up with a plan.

Please don't allow it to look like arson...

Hmm, that's a first.

You used the ever-present sidewalk chalk for something other than a pentagram!

So, with that bootimus carpet glued to the floor, I took out my sidewalk chalk and drew out a bathroom.

That entire chalk space better be the shower or it's a deal breaker. Im tall, ya know.

It's a Christmas Miracle!

The carpet was wafer thin and the only thing I could think that would work was to put a thin subfloor down and eventually a floating wood floor.

It's a Christmas Miracle!

Or not.

I predict we will one day see a sidewalk chalk outline of JAJ's body. It may or may not be surrounded by yellow crime scene tape.

Are you crafty? You could consider making skirts for all your friends and family.

Och Lass, I think ye may be correct!

Is it just the angle or does that doggie have little legs?

You know what they say about little legs.
