Future bedroom! RE-construction - Part 10 - Framing... It does a body good!

And so with our windows in place and our insulation removed, it was time to press on. Next on the list - Framing! We had decided to frame around the entire perimeter of the room to increase the wall thickness so we could increase the insulation - so as to have a nice toasty bedroom! In addition, we needed to frame in the closets and part of the future master bathroom and the entryway! And so we picked a wall and got to work!

Checking for plumb! Looks good!

Nailing it in place! Nail guns are awesome...

And a few nails and wall sections later! Making some progress!

May not look like much, but it'll increase our walls' R-values by 15 when we're finished!

And the final wall!

Now that we had the perimeter done, it was time to focus on the closets and interior walls.
 
Here is Vanessa's ridiculously enormous future closet. At almost 8 feet long and 3 feet deep, she will hopefully finally have enough room for her clothing!

Our first doorway! This is the future door to the future master bathroom.

Looking at the bedroom's entrance from inside the bedroom looking out. On the left side is part of the future master bathroom - The same doorway from the previous image. Eventually some of those walls inside the future bathroom are going to need some "Adjustments" - read, tear down.

And this is the wall that will separate the future office from the future bedroom. There's a whole lot of future action going on in here!

And this is the grand entryway to the bedroom. On the left is the entrance to our future master bathroom, and on the right is my little future closet. And behind that is a closet for the office.

And so with all that framing out of the way, it was time to start planning out the electrical for the bedroom. But before we started wiring it up, we decided to get the power to the house switched over to our new panel. Stay tuned... I'm not sure what, but something exciting is coming up next!!!
