Embarking on the Next Renovation Project

OK, it's time again.  We're remodeling another room in our 100 year old farm house.  At one room per year, we should be done in 2020.  And I bet someone will think that it's time to remodel something then.  The never ending home construction project.
This time, the room that was originally a back porch, and became a kitchen in the 1930's and was remodeled into a modern kitchen in 1977 will now become the Master Bedroom. 
Within the scope of this project, there's also a tiny 3/4 bath that will magically become a Master Bath, complete with (His) zero entry shower and Handicapped Prepared fixtures.  Maybe the (Hers) big Whirlpool tub I got at a Habitat Restore a couple years ago too????  The Laundry gets some new hookups and relocated.  And the (His) Master Closet will merged with the Laundry some how, some way.  The Master Closet has to have enough room to have a (His) bench in it to sit on while getting dressed.
At one time, up to the 1977 re muddling, there were three really large double hung windows in this space.  1977 brought those to their knees, and replaced them with little 2' x 2' double hungs that have those springs in the sides...  Hard to operate and noisy when you can get them to move.  So, they've been on my hit list for a long time.  Oh, and there's always been a window between this porch cum kitchen and the dining room.  Interesting for a kitchen, not so much for a Master Bedroom.

Wish us luck, and put the marriage counselor on retainer.
