So this summer our plan was to do some renovations around the house but as is usually the case around our place, I need Masa to take the initiative on these kinds of things. So once he had his vacation (literally, the first day of his vacation), he started by sanding a door frame in the WC. The plan was to strip the paint off and stain it but once he got started, he ended up taking off the plaster on that wall, then on the adjoining wall only to discover that the wall separating the WC from the bathroom/tub was wet. So down with that bathroom wall, all the tiles, etc. Big job.
Now we're a week into this project. In addition, we took down a wall in our laundry room, Masa put wood up all the walls in the WC, and now we're talking about adding some built in bookshelves in the living room.
Bad news is that I am working a bit so can only help out a few hours a day AND Monday I start back at my full-time job. But our place will be improved so good news all around!

The laundry room wall. Not sure what we're gonna do here (expose wood? expose brick? just replaster?).
