With the master bathroom done, we turned our attention to the “old bathroom” as we call it. Until we added the second bathroom, the old bathroom was the primary bathroom for the cabin and had been added on to in prior years to get in a shower and a horribly constructed roof (which was completely re-pitched).
We exposed the full logs of the original cabin to make up the wall, added some spray foam next to and behind the shower, and used our beloved Duragroove for the other walls and ceiling. We will retain a built in cabinet for linens, but add some fresh doors.
The shower gets some nice Emser, concrete look tile with a river rock floor. And the floor in the bathroom itself gets bricks for the flooring as a nod to the many exposed brick chimneys (dating back over 100 years in some cases) that were/are in the cabin.
We kept the exposed brick chimney in the kitchen (which was for the old kitchen stove, we think), but took down the huge brick masonry chimney that was used only for the boiler. We needed that space for our new hallway. We did however keep the Duck Creek brick to from that chimney to be reused for a fire pit in the backyard in the future.
Once the flooring is sealed and grouted, we will stain and finish the logs and then get our new vanity, vessel sink, and other accessories installed.
Cabinet frames have gone into the kitchen and the island frame and bar areas have been built out. Thanks to Scott Peterson and Peterson Custom Cabinets for their hard work! Doors and drawers are coming soon as are thick slab hickory countertops for the island and countertops and a live edge pine counter for the bar area.
Electrical work is now happening in the kitchen to get the lighting, appliances, and related items connected.
