So, as you know, we did a huge plaster removal last summer in about 90% of our bedroom. We left the old closet area alone while we contemplated a variety of uses for the space (including a master bathroom....)
Having decided that adding a bathroom would be a bit more of a professional pain in the arse (IE very expensive) we decided to simply remove the closet itself and use the space to hold our treadmill so that we might actually use the silly thing. It just so happened that we had a huge tent we no longer needed. And since Eugene is the capital of bartering.... AnJie set out to find a contractor that could help us and needed a Tent.... And the Universe sent us Jake.
After the plans were set into motion for the agreed upon remodel of the area, I set out to clean out the remaining items that had been left in the closet out of .. well.. lack of other spaces to put it. We invested in a really neat armiour, moved the treadmill and I proceeded to clean out the soon to be demo'd space. Sounds simple enough right? That would be too easy.
While we were remodeling last year, we only covered the space with plastic, and then never really cleaned in there (who has time for that??) so while I was taking things out, all the dirt, dust and plaster crumbs were stirred up and swirled about our bedroom.... that night I began to get ill.... and stayed ill for a whole freakin week!! We finally figured out that I had somehow OD'd or something on the plaster dust from the closet.... Would have been nice to figure out without the fever, itchy rash and sleeping for 3 days strait, but you know.... can't do anything the easy way!!
Now, on to the stuff you are really here for... the pictures!
