I've worked for the past few hours (minus dinnertime) getting the changes done, and here's some screenshots so far.
Another aerial shot of the back, with the linen area included (far right). Oh, I forgot to mention the strip lighting I'd added to the top floor balcony!
Here are the changes on the main level. The first picture shows the elevator and the changes made to the surrounding area. The second picture shows the new Linen Storage room; it's not very big but it does have the good amount of shelving for folded linens, and a laundry cart for easy removal for cleaning (and I made sure that it wasn't too wide to fit through the back door). You'll also notice in both of those pictures that I changed the flooring in the kitchen to be tile instead of wood. The final picture is of the private bathroom and the public bathrooms. Yes, there are now two public bathrooms (one for men, one for women), and there's a special (yet common) "toilet" for men...
In the private bathroom, I've taken out the bathtub, put in a shower stall, and it's now in a closed off section for privacy. I've also put the toilet into its own stall, just like in the public bathrooms
And finally, the screenshots of the first and second floors where I put in the elevator shaft, as that was the only area that was changed. I did have to take square footage out of both of the suites to accommodate it but there was nothing else for it. Now both suites no longer have enough room for a sitting area and bookshelf. No big deal.
I realize that the suites don't look like they're the same square footage, but they actually are; in changing the first floor I'd taken out the (I'm not sure how to word this right) "rooms" that marked each closet, but on the second floor I had no reason to touch that area. In other words, the only difference between the two is that the first suite is taking into account the square footage of the closets while the second suite is not... I hope I haven't confused anyone with that explanation... ----------------------------------------
