More waiting.

The picture on the left is taken in the master bedroom. The doorway leads to the newer part of the house. The opening in the wall leads (we think) to an attic space and the reason it was never closed was because there is a swamp cooler. This is where the air came down (again, we think). The right hand picture is taken in the hall, on the other side of the master. Notice it has 2 such openings up on the wall. Interesting, right?

 Stepping out of the master bedroom, we step in to a hall/entry way (yes, another outside door) that measures about 7'7" x 5'5".The covered patio is directly out that door on the right. The closed door that you see on the left is the door to the redwood bathroom.

Directly across the hallway is the redwood bathroom. The bathroom measures about 5'6" x 6'2". The shower is a mess, as is the linen closet shown below.

We'd like to take the best parts of this bathroom and move them to the guest bathroom (possibly). Really, it depends on what day you ask. Some days we think we might keep this bathroom (with improvements, of course!). Through the window you can see the latticework on the side of the covered patio. Although most of the covered patio is directly to the right of this bathroom, there is a walkway that runs along that side and leads into the sunset room kitchen, near the wine storage room. We'll go the other way around (through the house) and I'll show you a picture of that soon.

Turning left, we look down the hall (about 15 feet) into the sunset dining room and out to the deck. There is a linen(?) closet directly to your right. On the left is another linen(?) closet and next to it, the current placement for the washer/dryer.

 This shot is above the linen closet that's next to the redwood bathroom. As you can see, there is space above - and a box! More surprises!!!

Closet on the left.

Washer/dryer space.

 Standing in the dining room (that measures about 7'9" x 8'8"), looking back at the hall/laundry closet.

Although we somehow managed to not have a direct shot of the dining room, itself, we did manage to capture the fact that there is a ceiling fan in the room! In our defense, all I can say is that this house has kept us busy looking at the weird turns, doors that open into strange cubbies, and the incredible amount of work that will need to be done to make it shine!  :-)

I almost forgot about the strange room across the hall from the laundry closet. It's very hard to see (sorry!) but the room measures about 9'8" x 7'ish. I originally called it a sewing room (I can dream, right?) but we have since learned that the previous owner used it as her office. Either way, it is strange!

Maybe a little better shot? That's the closet on the right. On the bottom left is a wooden box that covers...well, more surprises, I guess!

A better shot of the closet, with it's water damage. The shower in the redwood bathroom is next to this closet on the left. That explains the water damage.

Turning around (the door into the room is on the left) you can see the door that goes nowhere. On the other side of this nice french door is the sunset kitchen.

I think I'll leave you with that for tonight. Tomorrow we enter the sunset room!
