most recent progress

STARTING AT THE TOP LEFT TO RIGHT: 1) A beautiful rainbow appeared one day recently while we were working on the house. I thought it was a nice sign. It was so pretty to see that through the trees with hills all dusty in the backdrop. It really makes us want to live there. This picture was taken from my dining room window! Lovely, huh? It's really a nice spot. The location is up high enough that you can really see some nice views.

2) These are not really in the order they occurred, the small ladder is in my closet doorway, and a nice closet it will be. Walk in, turn around.

3) This picture is of tearing up the old flooring.

4) Here I am in "my room" showing that the walls are almost completely framed. By the end of that day they were. The light that you see beyond the stud wall is the old basement door which we will basically just move straight up to the new floor level there. This will be the back entry, laundry/mud room. It will wrap around my room here with a hallway leading to the dining room. neato skeeto :)

5) This is looking into what is becoming the bedroom doorway. This is the back end of the house/main floor. This shows a broader angle of the back end of the house which will end up being the master bed and bath with a generous closet plus a laundry room/back entryway/mud room and eventually a very small half bath which I am dubbing "the water closet". So you see an existing door an the far left corner, that is part of an L shaped room for laundry, etc. And that's what we have been doing here lately.

6) This is another view of the back of the house. This area was formerly the kitchen, back porch, pantry and bathroom. Our near future goals are to have this back half of the main floor livable and at least one bath at usable stage either in the basement or by my room. And then just maybe we'll move. You can see the old toilet and tub in place as a visual prop.
