Things have been moving along. As they should be since they've been at it for 8-weeks now! Our original completion date was Dec 1... we'll see. Sheetrock and drywall is going up starting Monday... so no more view of the inter-workings after this weekend!
We have a boarded up front window. I'm sure the neighbors love it... although maybe they think it's part of our Halloween decorations. We are making that window smaller to be the same size as the other two windows on that end of the house. We also decided to take the awnings down that had been over our windows.
Another reason why we are changing the window size is that now there will be a wall in the middle of where the window was. Juan had a good idea to use this little cut-out where the window was for shelves in the new bathroom. Good thinking, Juan!
So long awnings! Anthony handled this project.
The new room is framed. This is the only area of the space that will be closed off from the rest. We wanted an open floor plan, but also knew we need some closed space. We call this the "quiet room." It will be a buffer to the bedroom end of the house. We can also market it as another bedroom whenever we decide to move. Which is not in the plans anytime soon.
This is the bathroom and closet for that room.
The view from the kitchen area into the new living room area.
Here they are from the outside. The door to get to the backyard will be moved to the laundry room.
This is the new door out to the garage (someday!). We'll be building some cubbies along here along with some other "organizing" space for the way in and out of the house.
The garage door is down and the new wall is framed.
Braden and Hunter are doing some "work" in the pantry and laundry rooms.
Anthony over-seeded the backyard for the winter. Braden told me he was going to sit and watch the grass grow for a bit. I guess that's not too bad of a way to spend the morning. Although it didn't last very long.
