The contractor is 23 years old... I belive this is his first. But hes got a long support line in the form of Dad and a boat loads of friends.

I am impressed with his work ethic. Hes a Mexican National but hes been a resident here since he was ten. And hes going through the process of getting his US Citizenship.

So hes documenting everything on his phone. I hope to get a boatload of pictures from him towards the end. The underpinnings of the house are/were pretty gnarly.

Kitchen when I moved in was aboutt six feet by six... I expanded that by removing a non weight bearing wall and removing the furnace. But by then I realized I shouldnt go further without expert help. So lived with a hole in the kitchen floor and ceiling dangling wires and Gawd aweful linoleum. Been like that since 2004.

The Bathroom needed the same treatment because the only thing That was keeping me from falling through the floor was the linoleum. I cashed in my 401 K and had the bathroom done. Subfloor up. Had the green house room rehabbed as well as a new roof put on.

This is the last leg for making my house truly livable. Laundry room and My original bedroom/art studio are on grade and in newer construction. Outside of a leak in the art studio Nothing needs to be done there.

Though I do have a Raging hate for Sliding glass doors so They are going. I have four.

Oh and I just located Dutch doors on Craigs list... YAY. Going to price them for the Art studio and the green house room entrance.

Oh and I am keeping Luis on for smaller projects as well. Aside from the porch I needed for front entrance (rollator friendly steps and a place to put in a lift Wayyy later)

Later I want a hillbilly style master bath for the Art Studio. A floating deck for that entrance and across the studio wall. And hopefully a very small potty for the Bedroom in the house.

Oh and poultry house. I can do much of it myself but cannot do a roof.

Pray tell, what is a hillbilly bathroom?

A 5 gallon bucket with a liner and sawdust or peat moss to cover up deposits. Can be tossed in the trash or composted in its own compost pile. Human waste needs a couple of years before its safe to use in the garden.

I will do trash. OR invest in an incinerating toilet... Propane fired. The shower will be a stock tank Water redirected to trees. Oh and a little on demand propane water heater.

All open air with visual barriers. I figure if someone sees they wont look for long :gig I am comfortable in my own skin.. Others may not be. Closest neighbor is twenty acres away.
