Master bedroom... I took out that closet on my own with a sledge. It took 2 hours while Kate removed on the plastic covers for electrical outlets and did some of her own handy work in the guest bath. We had Boston with us. He wanted to chomp on the discarded 2x4's so badly... he was denied though... too many nails.
This photo represents the biggest change so far. Remember the wall that divided the dining room and kitchen? Gone. We've decided to open the kitchen up. The refrigerator will go on the left behind the brick structure you see. The stove/oven will be placed along the back wall. New cabinets and granite counter tops to be installed. The giant doorway with the existing refrigerator stashed away will become the laundry room with utility sink. Kate is VERY excited about that sink. You can barely see the opening into the attic with wires coming out. That is for the new HVAC.
Another view... this time from the kitchen to the dining room. The "chimney" structure to the right is the old heat stack and has not been used for 50 years. It's in rough shape and will be dry-walled over. You may recall the 1965 yellow oven/stove that once sat in the right side of the photo. Its now gone and unfortunately sitting in the driveway. The neighbors LOVE us.
Remember the old water heater? Gone. This is becoming the master bath. The door and window will be stucco'd shortly.
Here is a photo taken the other day. You'll notice the front bushes have been removed so that the bay window is more visible. We took the photo as the sun was setting and it makes the home look like its been painted. The home is still greenish... painting will come in a couple weeks. Colors are being debated but will most likely be off-white with black trim around the windows.
