Under Construction




Well, scratch the "before" photos and skip to the "in progress" pictures. If you didn't see the "before" they probably won't mean much to you. Since I am challenged by the task of labeling the pictures, I will tell you about them and let you guess and wonder.






























We added about 150 square feet to our kitchen/dining area. We had an 8 foot wide "porch" that ran the length of the house on the North side. We took about half of it and included it as part of the inside. It is a HUGE project--more than I imagined. They have now framed in the back and removed former rear wall of the house with the exception of the plumbing and wiring. I have lots of new windows, a new back door (yet to be installed and currently boarded in), and a new pantry/food storage area stolen from a corner of the garage and accessible through the kitchen.




















We also gutted the master bathroom and closet, and are reconfiguring so we can make a separate tub and shower and use the space a little more efficiently, so that is a big mess as they had to cut through the concrete pad and dig a big hole to alter the plumbing.































Look and be amazed! (Oh, I intend to include a picture of the some of the color choices I am considering for cabinets and counters). OK, if you can figure this out, you deserve a prize.































I included a couple to show the utter chaos of our downstairs living quarters.

Well, I can figure it out, but then I have somewhat of an advantage--I've seen it in person. Can't wait to see the progress.

And I thought WE did a major renovation. Good luck with your project and hope you don't find too many "surprises" that have to be dealt with.
