We are living in a construction site!

 Last week the we had electricians, carpenters, plumbers, people doing ductwork here working hard for us to get our home done.  We have gotten to the point where we have come through the wall linking the addition to the old part of the house, so we have typar paper acting as a curtain between the construction and the livable spaces.  During the day, I go out the garage to get from the side where my office and kitchen is to the side with the bedrooms, Bill's office, and bathroom.  Fortunately, things are moving along as planned, still hoping to be settled by the end of May.

Sliding glass doors that connected to the old "Carolina Room"


Door is gone!





Taking out the wall!



This wall which was on the side of the old livingroom space is to be removed today.  New wall will be framed to have a place for our dining room cabinet.

This shows the wall demolition from the side of the addition , the new livingroom.



Our wonderful crew stayed here til after dark workin on this demo.

The livingroom and dining room are one!  The older portion will be the dining room and will have the 8ft. ceiling, but the addition will have the higher ceiling.  You can see on the right the opening that leads to the master bedroom, and the stairs down to the lower level.  

 Meanwhile, work continues on our deck/porch.  Bill met with the supplier of Phantom Screens and we have made arrangements to use them here.  That way we can have an "open" deck when we want, or a "screened Porch" if the bugs are out.



We have installed a door so that we can go to the porch without needing to open the sliding doors.

Glass sliding doors have been installed.







Kitchen demo has continued as well.  We  have taken down the upper cabinets on the outside wall, and also the ones that were on the sides of the sink and dishwasher.  The cabinets and countertop that were separating the kitchen from the diningroom have been removed as well.





This is gone now!  We have talked to the supplier about our new cabinets, and are now picking out the rest of the appliances too.
