THE MARTIN HOUSE: ROUGH-IN UPDATE

DateWednesday, August 25, 2010 at 7:33PM

It has been a busy week here at The Martin House as spaces begin to shape at breakneck speed!  The plumbing for our three new bathrooms is all roughed in, inspected and ready for the next step.  The electiricians are finishing their rough ins on the second floor and framing has gone up everywhere you turn.  I wanted to share some of the progress with you...

 

This is a view of the framed out guest bathroom.  You can see all the wiring that was ran today to all the new switch boxes and outlets.  Its hard to imagine those wires connecting beautiful light fixtures to wall switches across the room but that is exactly what I had to do to ensure that the electrical system functioned effortlessy as people move throughout the house.

 

Here is another view of the framed out guest bathroom.  If you look closely you can spot the track for the pocket door that was installed today.  Because of the steep slope of the ceiling a traditional swinging door won't fit and thus a pocket door is a great solution, and it helps to maximize precious square footage inside the bathroom.

 

While its hard to conceive, you're looking at the future home of the master bathroom vanity.  That slope is the staircase coming up on the other side giving you a great example of how tight the quarters are in this house.  I have had to be very creative in fitting all the necessary building systems and design elements together in a harmonious balance.  The bathroom vanity will cover over that slope and you will never know it was there!

 

Last bathroom shot...this completely barren space will be the full bathroom on the main floor.  This space once housed two single stall bathrooms AND a corridor!  Now it has been completely stripped down and those three pipes sticking out of the floor indicate the future home of our fabulous vintage clawfoot tub.

 

Another exciting development this week is the remaining restaurant equipment is finally being dismantled and hauled off to be scrapped.  Here the final stragglers await their fate in the scrap yard.  The contractors are going to have to break down the huge 10 burner stove (in the background on the right) piece by piece to get it out of the house.  I can't wait to see this room emptied out!

hello my dear brother. the work that is being done is stunning due to its depth. as we used to say in the theater business, "Holy Shit!"
I am sad to think that your 10 burner stove would have a lovely second life at the Craignair but, I hope you get some redemption cash from all of the break down and scrapping. 10 burners? That Is Awesome and I fucking want it! moving right along, I love the fact that you are replacing all the plumbing with plastic. I believe in plastic more than copper because when it fucks off, you simply cut, couple, glue and then take a brand new, hot shower. Plus, the blue and red make hooking shit up a lot easier. The only cool part of copper is that you get to practice you soldering skills. All the framing and electrical looks great and I hope that it comes around when you want it to. stop using phrases like, "precious square footage," and "harmonious balance." "Harmonious balance" is redundant and "precious square footage" is bullshit. our apartment in Korea was about 30 square feet and 20 of it was the bathroom. we turned out just fine. closing with that it looks awesome, your fucked, I'm fucked and it will be fun to tell stories over dinner and cocktails (only drink when I have nothing else to do) in our new places with the one's we love. Keep calling if you want to chat and keep up the insanity! Love you. Michael
