I'll take you on a visual journey through Mr. Miller's handy work so you can get a good idea of exactly what we're up against.
Now remember I said I was showing you my mess and all so just ignore all the clutter please.
Here's another view of the entire room from the north wall looking back to the kitchen door
To the left you'll notice a bi-fold door standing open. Behind this is the alcove for the washer and dryer. The alcove runs all the way along this wall 14 ft. long by 3 ft. deep.
Here's a shot looking at the washer/dryer area with the doors closed
And one with the doors open
Moving down the wall past the washer & dryer we find The Rabbit Sink. Oh and all of Only Daughter's outgrown clothes I'm storing for the consignment sale.
There is a plastic sink in that wooden contraption that is actually hooked up to drain into the washer drain. We believe Mr. Miller used the sink to wash the rabbits. We kept the litter box in there for awhile and then it became a place to pile stuff.
When we first moved in there were vertical blinds hanging here. I eventually replaced them with curtains. (Actually 2 queen size sheets I bought at Ross for $6) Anything was better than looking at the junk stashed back there.
Now comes the reason why my aforementioned simple idea of new drywall and some paint wouldn't work. Behind curtain No. 1 we have some of Mr. Miller's handwork.
The paneling doesn't go all the way to end. Notice his creative carpentry? We're not sure what purpose the board hanging down about 2 feet serves other than to crack your head into when you're trying to get something out of there. Not that we've ever done that of course!!
More roadblocks and things that made us go "huh?" to come......
