The Seabolt Job

Chris and Patty Sebolt love their150-year-old home full of open spaces, historic details and charm. The only thing they're not crazy about is their small first floor bathroom with an entryway barely big enough for Chris to fit through. They were in desperate need of a renovation so they began moving the bathrooms outer wall, pushing the staircase back and expanding the doorway. Between endless interruptions from their children, remnants of mice living in their walls, and trying to figure out how to build an entirely new staircase, the Sebolts have plenty of setbacks. But in the end, they push through and end up with a bathroom that has plenty of space and lots of charm to fit in with the rest of their home.
