By the end of demolition we had a house with no floors or bathroom, but we had a plan.

It's not much different from the original, but it doesn't need to be. It works. And it will rock. Oh yes, it will rock. The bathroom will open into the living room and the closet is a shared space with two doors, one into each bedrooms.

First thing's first, we ran some electrical line before adding a new floor, a subfloor at this point, nothing fancy. Because, the catch was, Errek's apartment lease was up on August 31st and he had to move in. So, floors...stress...and lack of sleep were on the menu. This was the era of injury, but we managed to survive.

Always wanting to "go solid" Errek overkilled the floors by putting new joists in (converting the original 2 foot span to 1 foot and reinforcing with little connector joists). That floor ain't goin' nowhere!

Then came the move in. It's like camping, but without smores. There are no floors in the living room, so everything had to go into the bedroom/bathroom/bedroom half of the house. Oh and did I mention there's no toilet...or running water. Abandon all comfort, ye who enter here. "You've got balls, man." has been utter more than once by visitors. But it's temporary and in the end it will be awesome.
