- Master Bedroom North and East wall cleared of lathe, plaster, and strapping
- Old hardwood flooring removed from Dining Room Living Room, Master Bedroom, and Second Floor Hallway.
- Excavation for addition started
We are in the process of picking window vendors and kitchen cabinet makers. Been running around the city meeting with vendors and providing project information. We've been insisting on speaking to at least three vendors for each item to be sure that we have options and the best pricing. So far, it has translated to a lot more legwork but showing positive signs of saving us money on the project.
In talking to the window vendors, we have an idea to make the backyard opening an interrupted 11' span. That means a creative solution on the doors. So far, we have gotten some interesting suggestions and it should turn out to be a great living space.
