House Catch Up

WARNING: This post is indeed a catch up, so it's going to be somewhat picture heavy!!

I've mentioned before that my husband and I are in the middle of remodeling/adding onto our home. At this point in time, we're about knee deep in the process. To see the other post that I wrote about the project, click here (there's also some before pictures!!).

Okay, so at this point here is the haps on what has been done:

•  All of the interior walls that need to come down have. This included all the bedroom, bathroom and hallway walls. We also removed the ceiling from these areas along with the blown in insulation that was up there!
• All of the footings to support the second story that we're adding have been dug. They now been to be inspected and once that's been done we'll pour the concrete in them.
• The trenches for the in ground plumbing have been dug, and the plumbing has been installed. There will be an inspection on that today and if we pass we can fill the trenches back in.
• The brick off the front of the house where the interior stairwell will pop out has been removed. The footing in front of it has also been dug.

Some before and after comparisons:

Master bedroom in progress...

And some pictures of the mess we call our house:

Looking into what used to be 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a hallway...

The back corner below was our master bedroom. The little window the the left was in our master bath...

The front of our house. Where the brick has been removed, the wall will be coming out about 3 feet. This is where our staircase is going to be...

This is the footing that we cut out and dug yesterday. It made a mess of my kitchen...
