The renovation includes installing a new, level floor—an improvement over the rocky concrete foundation that was a challenge to level.

He also built a false wall around exposed water lines and added trim work to cover imperfections, demonstrating practical problem-solving.
Lighting comes from four recessed fixtures, providing ample illumination.
