Renovations: Week 4

Here is another one of the many full spaces - the garage. To the left are our old kitchen cabinets; We will eventually install them in either the garage or basement in a work area. Buckets of spackle await the drywall hanging, and our Amish masons are loading grout into the garage for next week's construction of the stone facing in the front and on our chimney. Maya in the foreground is supervising the project.



Rocky's trailer sank deep into the mulch off the edge of the driveway when he delivered it. The siding sits in a stack ready to go, and the yellow scaffolding will be erected around the chimney by the masons.



At left below, looking through the plastic sheeting for dust control, Chuck is checking out the fridge in our temporary kitchen. Hey, anything good to eat in here?

Below right - the new kitchen - all studded out. We just passed the electrical inspection, next comes the insulation and the thermal inspection. Then it's drywall time...



Here's a neat view: the photographer is in the new laundry room, shooting across the hallway (door to garage is on right), through the new powder room, through the new kitchen and out the new front windows.



Pat is checking out the garage from the new laundry room. She won't be able to do that anymore after the drywall goes up, but there will be a new window to the backyard to her right (after it comes in; we added that detail later, as a change order).

On the right, another view from inside the new kitchen. Power room is to the left and you can see out the garage door and out the garage window in the background.



Living in a stud house is fun. You can see what the spaces will eventually look like but it is so light and airy!!! Ha Ha - it's also buggy and dusty!

New week - DRYWALL!
