Dining Room!

This is the Dining Room. Matt and Dad put in the entire subfloor in, and after that they worked on the fireplace and the laundry outlets. (We will have a laundry closet where Dad was working on the laundry hot and cold pipes.)



This is what the old fireplace looked like.


Taking out that iron fireplace was a HEAVY job!



Dad working on the hot and cold pipes for the washer and dryer.











Mocha and Matt were "moral support" for Dad when he was working on our hot and cold pipes for the washer and dryer. :) Everyone needs a loyal lab to help them with their work! :)

Progress! Progress! Progress!

I have been unable to blog lately, due to a life that is extremely busy with everything that we've got going on. I feel horrible that I haven't been able to show you all the progress of our house, as the guys are continuously working on the house and their work deserves recognition! Plus, it is AMAZING how far along they are coming on the house! A big thank you goes to everyone that is and has been helping out!!!! :)

Kitchen Ceiling Renovation/ Bathroom Renovation

In the meantime, during the other project of demoing the Dining Room, we are also renovating the Kitchen Ceiling. Here are some pictures of Dad and Matt working on the ceiling.









Also, Dad is working hard core on the bathroom. He has put in all new plumbing and electrical wiring into the bathroom, and Matt and Dad have placed in a sub floor. Dad is also creating the soffit that will be the lowered ceiling over our bathtub/shower.

Back to Demo Work Again: Working on the Dining Room!

As much as we would have liked to keep working on the kitchen and puttng the kitchen back together, instuling new cabinets etc, we decided that doing all the demo work on the house at the same time would be the best option. So we decided to do the last project of demo in the house- the Dining Room. The Dining Room has a subfloor that is not level througout the entire house. We need to work on the subfloor and make it level just like how we made the kitchen and living room subfloors level (using floor joists). We also have decided to place a washer and dryer hook up in the closet of the Dining Room. Therefore, we have to take out the existing closet and extend the wall out eight inches into the Dining Room to make a closet wide enough and long enough for the washer and dryer. (In the end I promise it will look good!) Also, there were two doors leading to the outside, on either outside wall in the Dining Room. We are going to frame in one door, and where there was a big wall sized window, we are going to place a Sliding Glass Door there instead. The back door will remain where it is, except we will make it a standard sized door and fix the existing door frame. All in all- those are the projects in the Dining Room that we are taking on! :) Let the Demo work begin of tearing out the closet wall, and door frames we do not need!
