Don't know what kind of jewelry you have to sell, but it usually shows better under LED's rather than natural light.

Hi Chris: Our problem ended up being the window sill of the second floor window, the one above the leak. The top surface of the sill should be angled slightly downward, away from the house, so that water runs away from the wall. Ours was tilted very slightly upwards, so any water that fell on the sill ran back into the brick wall of the house and ultimately into the ceiling above the first floor window. A brick mason replaced the second floor window sill and that fixed the problem. They also did some other work: ground out the existing mortar above the window lintels and added weep holes, and added star bolts to keep the wall deflection from getting any worse. But the direct cause of the leak was the angle of the window sill above the leak.

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I posted updates and to be honest there isn’t too much to report at the moment! Trying to figure out where to put ducts for central air. I’m attaching some photos I thought you might like :) the first is what the beams look like inside the walls and what I’m hoping the ones exposed will look like when they stain is rubbed out. The second pic is the original flooring upstairs (dusty from construction). It’s called pumpkin pine flooring and that’s the flooring I want to put on the ground level kitchen and sitting room. Then a picture from the notching looking at the stone room, and vice versa! Hope everyone is healthy and safe ❤️

Yes, you guys are very informative and I appreciate your input. I did not think about any of this stuff prior to purchase because I didn't know. Apparently there is a lot to bathroom design when remodeling and I made a lot of mistakes (which is duly noted if you're able to look up my prior posts). One thing to say is this isn't a million dollar home. It's a three bedroom ranch and the bathroom is quite small. So I tried to do this remodel on the cheap but have run into many issues because of that. It’s a cheap and cheesy undesigned approach that isn’t worthy of a well designed bathroom. It’s also usually the wrong size for a window stool, and has that dysfunctional bevel that needs cutting off to begin to fit. And other manhandling. Doing some measuring I can see now that butting it up to the window has the sill sticking out from the wall too far, so the back will need to be cut to reduce the ledge distance. Not sure how far is ideal but I reckon I can go by the other window sills in my house for an approximate size. The good thing is cutting it down will eliminate the bevel in the back. It’s a D level choice. An A level bath needs to be better. A well designed bathroom will have continuity between materials, and will use the right ones for the right job. And if that window is in the shower, there are much bigger issues. I wish I had known all of this before hand. The window is adjacent to the shower but not actually in the shower. You can actually see the edge of the shower in the last picture I posted which shows the proximity to the window.
