Bathroom framing

On the weekend, Trent & Dana demolished what was left of the framing & walls for the original basement bathroom. Trent then smashed out the concrete surrounding the toilet's drain so that we could move it. The new toilet will not lean drunkenly toward the center of the house!

Trent & I spent Saturday afternoon & all day Sunday framing in the new bathroom, which makes way better use of space than did the previous one. In addition, its walls could actually be referred to as "structural," much unlike those of the previous bathroom. We did learn, however, to take more measurements for the walls' float, as what originally looked like a high spot turned out to be a low spot, meaning that our 5" nails weren't quite long enough.
