Okay, there will be more photos to come- don't worry!!! But, first it might be good to tell you what we are planning to do with our house. When we bought the house, it had be rented out for the past like 20 years. It was in nice shape, but needed tons of interior work, as we wrote about before. So we decided that since we needed to change so much of the home's infrastructure, like plumbing and electrical, we figured that we may as well change the interior things that we wanted to do before we moved in. Below is the floor plan for the house when we bought it. (you can click on it to make it bigger, if it is too small).
Before, the house had a funky three-quarter bathroom at the back of the house, off of the living room. It was small and a little awkward. Also, there was a laundry porch that was actually an enclosed porch with just a thin screen wall. So we decided that we wanted to open all that up. We moved the laundry and made a new location for the powder room. This gave us a new small back "sitting nook" as we call it. A perfect spot to sit and have breakfast and read the newspaper a look out the double french doors. Also, we added a banquette seating area to the kitchen and will switch up the living and dining rooms to work better.....The new plan is below:
So, we figured that if everything went really well, we would be finished after about 8-10 weeks. We started in earnest on July 26 with demolition, so that puts us about 4 weeks into it now, and we are hoping to be done by the end of September. If it keeps moving ahead, we will be on time- hooray!!! Right now, we are done with the interior framing, plumbing, most of the electrical...We are in the midst of tiling the bathrooms and the kitchen cabinets are starting. Whew! So that's where we are...Next post will be back to the foundation and framing work that we did a couple weeks ago.
