Wren’s Nest Conservation Update — Bathroom Construction Is ON
With 11 months of conservation work behind us, the entire project finally is coming to a close. It’s been a long, rewarding road, and naturally, we wanted to end on a high note — the bathroom.
Did you ever visit our bathroom?
If so, you might have found yourself saying things like, “I think the toilet has been running for the last 14 hours. Also, the wall is falling off. And is the sink supposed to shoot cold, frigid water at you? Gah! Something just crawled in where the window pane doesn’t meet the frame.”
The good folks at Blalock Construction are overhauling everything, and boy are we keen. Being that this is the non-historic part of the house, the possibilities are endless. Why, this may even mean that by next week my regular responsibilities will no longer include “fixing the toilet all the damn time.”
Unfortunately, there is a bit of a downside to this. You know how if, in your building, they’re working on the bathrooms you have to go down to another floor? Meet our other floor:
Nothing but the high life over here, folks.

Having Grown Up In The Back Yard of The Wren’s Nest
The last time I visited the Wren’s Nest
the bathroom had a toilet with the tank hanging from the wall high above the toilet. There was a chain connected to the tank and you would pull to flush!
There was old Claw Foot Bathtub!
For a Old HOuse in Atlanta the Wren’s Nest
was a fun place to visit. Especially the restroom where you pulled instead of push to flush!
Laughed out loud.
The old 50s fixtures were cool hope they don’t trash them; I don’t blame you guys for wanting something more reliable though! On another note, that’s one heck of a portapottie.
That’s no way to treat a 40 under 40.
