Building Projects (continued)
Our next building project was actually a remodeling project. We decided we wanted
to add skylights to our upstairs bathrooms. So during Spring Break about 10 years
in our Mississippi years, we tore out the ceiling in both upstairs bathrooms which
were adjacent to one another. I cut two holes in the roof one for each bathroom
and put in the two skylight windows. The end of each bathroom was on an outside
wall. The ceiling in the bathroom now followed the upward slope of the roof,
thus giving each bathroom a more spacious feel. A few years later we took out
the tub/shower in the master bathroom and replaced it with a walk-in shower with
no shower door, no shower curtain, just a glass wall along the open side covering
all except a walk-in space. A special auto temperature and pressure control
value was at the walk-in end and the rain shower head was high up on the more
enclosed area.
