How to do a good paint job but right now we've got a bathroom right here that was a very interesting little room that our homeowners used.

And if you think about it in New England you can have creaky old drafty windows in -- in the wintertime so one important thing here was to. Replacing we've got another one of these Pella windows in there. And also. The insulation will really count for much in this space and this is where we blew in lots of insulation throughout this throughout the roof. But we've got a spacious unusual shape we've got nooks and crannies in that section over there we have to any room for. Storage and towels and whatever else and then of course we'll have toilet tub shower. Now -- terrific little tub is not an antique we'll learn more about that in a minute but.
