The Secret Room...

I was putting an outlet box in the Hallway ceiling upstairs and noticed a large empty space above the

 sheetrock.  Upon further "investigation" (with a hammer); I discovered this:

 

A Four foot attic extends the entire length of the house...and this mysterious cedar-shake room is in the middle, under the actual roof!  Was it from an older house?

Ooops...I accidentally put my foot through the fragile sheetrock on the ceiling!

And my hands, with multiple cuts and permanently attached black 100 year old dust,  have had enough for one day!

(But I did put up an attic stairway from the Habitat Restore...anyway...now for insulation and planks!)

And in other news, the upstairs vanity now works...despite a Rube Goldbergesque PVC trap due to the fact that the plumber put the wall drain too low!!

And finally, a winter scene for you!  Happy January...

Spring comes soon!
