Making An Office And Bathroom Inside The Barn/Building

Good morning.  After 2 years I think I need to catch up.  So let's go back in time to when we started building on this Florida property.  We have approval for a barn with an office so that is our first step.

Let's get to the office part and then Mike and I can move out of the van:)

First step is to build the walls for the rooms.


One main area and a bathroom and closet.


Mike running the electric wire through the studs on the walls.



Getting the 2x4(studs) in place to hold the plumbing for the tub.


Ah...and Lisa's favorite job, lol.  Yes I am strange.



I do the insulation while Mike does the all the electric and plumbing.



Mike running the Pex(water lines) through the walls and ceiling.


Vent pipe for the future washing machine.



Installing a bathroom fan.



Success:)  Mike testing to make sure the water works and there are no leaks.




 Hot and Cold water lines are in for the washer.


And the venting out through the ceiling and roof.



I did the all the pipe insulation.  I've liked that job since the time Mike and I built our first house together back in 1999:)



Ok so this was short and sweet.  I have a lot of mixed pictures to go through and organize.  We are building a farm and a life here.  I will post again tomorrow morning and then every few days or so until we are caught up.

Stay tuned there are a lot of fun adventures and pictures coming up:)

  2. Yippee!! It is great to see what has been going on. Really missed hearing about your adventures. I hope you can spend one of the sessions letting us all know how the rest of the family is doing? The place up in Tennessee, and just life in General. Have you gotten another pup? I'm really going to be looking forward to checking my e-mails. And I guess all this shelter in place time has given you some free time to write. Be safe!

    1. It's good to see you:) I can do a quick update to kind of catch everyone up. Maybe on Saturday:) We do have another pup but she hates supervising, lol. We love our pets for different reasons don't we? Ha, ha we have been busy...you know Mike and his projects, lol. Looks like we are going off grid in Florida.

  3. I'm SO happy that you're posting again, Lisa. I've missed your updates and have wondered how (and what) you and Mike are doing. I especially loved "watching" you build the gorgeous Tennessee house and smiled at the photos of your cute little Pug supervising the construction.

    1. Thank you so much. I miss our little supervisor. She was the best. We do have a new little one and although she is the sweetest most loving dog ever she is no supervisor. She gets bored with us while we work, lol. More to come and a lot more animals:)
