The laundry room is now bottomless. I tore out the bottom half of two of the walls, but left the other two walls untouched. Since there is a drop ceiling (the only one in the house) beneath the LR, i have used it to run PEX tubing to 5 different fixtures and intend to utilize that access to run electric to the washer and dryer. There are other possibilities for other rooms that this access allows, but i'll get to that in another post. Since there was old fire damage, the space was even dirtier than most old in-wall/ceiling spaces (and that's saying something). So, when we had a work day last Saturday we finally got the area clean.
In my zeal to rip up the laundry room floor last year i unwittingly removed a substantial amount of what was supporting the wall between the laundry room and 7B bathroom. Now i must figure out a way to stabilize it from beneath and fill in the missing pieces of sub floor in the 7B bathroom.
The order of what i must do in the laundry room is as follows:
1) finish the plumbing & stub out fixture lines
2) Run cable for overhead lights & ceiling fan in 9B (i'll explain this later)
3) Stabilize the floor 7B bathroom
4) redo electric in laundry room (vanity light, overhead light, lightswitch, washer&dryer)
5)Remove old plumbing
6) Lay sub floor
7) Install vent
8) drywall
9) flooring
10) paint
11) install appliances, fixtures, & cabinet(s)
12) install mirror, towel rack etc..
And at the moment, most of this is irrelevant because i must first fix up my unit 9B, so we can move out of, and then repair, Sara's unit 7B. Updates to follow.
