The Bedroom Doorway Is Gone! (Plus, My Bedroom Suite Door Decision)

Sadly, I don’t suppose that footage fairly do it justice, however since I can’t give each one among you a private tour, footage must do. Simply as a refresher, that is the place we began off just some days in the past…

After which I eliminated the cupboard to open up the hallway. As soon as that was eliminated, we might truly see the opposite bed room door. That bed room will quickly be our closet and laundry space combo.

And now the doorway into the opposite bed room (i.e., the one we used as our dwelling gymnasium till the ground was destroyed, which led to all of this redo within the first place) has been fully eliminated to make this one steady, uninterrupted house.

Going from having a cased door there to having no doorway in any respect widened the realm 11 inches. I assumed it might be 12 inches, however we received 11 inches as a substitute. It went from 32 inches to 43 inches. It feels so huge now! It will likely be a lot simpler and extra handy for Matt as he passes by way of that space. No extra bumping into door jambs as he tries to get by way of the door.

The mudding and sanding isn’t fairly completed but, as you’ll be able to most likely inform. He’s coming again right this moment to complete that up. And as quickly as he’s completed, I can get in right here and begin on my half, starting with putting in the flooring.

Right here’s a glance again from the opposite course earlier than the doorway was eliminated. I’m standing within the bed room wanting again in direction of the hallway. First, with the door closed…

And a view with the door open (and with the hallway cupboard nonetheless there)…

And right here’s what it seems like now…

Isn’t that tremendous?! I believe even these of us who don’t use wheelchairs would like that extra open house even when only for ourselves, however are you able to think about how a lot better and simpler this will probably be for Matt?

Now you’ll be able to see why all of those selections needed to be made earlier than I received began on the room. The very first thing that must be completed is putting in the brand new hardwood flooring. However earlier than I might do this, I needed to know precisely what wanted to be eliminated and changed, if something. With the doorway fully gone, I’ll now should take away these boards and exchange them.

It’s a lot simpler to try this in the beginning of the flooring set up course of than to have to return again later and restore these areas.

So I’ll should take away three boards, after which that will probably be my place to begin for the flooring set up within the bed room.
