February Update


So there isn't much finished product to update about.  In fact, the house looks disastrous! Most of what is happening now is continued demo and framing.  Here are some new photos:

This is my closet addition being added, and the roof being slopped to stop the leaking issues:



Here's the closet addition from the inside:



And the upstairs bathroom is fully gutted:



Here's the much smaller downstairs bathroom.  I'm promised my claw foot tub will fit. I'm not as confident . . .



This is the reason the bathroom is much smaller.  This is going to be a closed in washer/dryer room and coat closet:



This is the demoed mud room:



The garage is roofless at the moment.  Tomorrow the framers will start framing one single roof (as opposed to the two separate pitches that were there before):




This is the back of the house right now.  The closet and roof are not yet finished so it is all covered to prevent moisture:



The painters discovered after painting that they did not scrape enough of the old paint off.  So the texture was not smooth.  They have now added some spackle to help give the siding a smooth texture.  As you can see, they now need to go back and re-paint because there are shiny and dull spots.  They also have not finished the trim, nor removed and replaced the few areas of rotten siding:



The painters have also test painted the eve navy blue.  We chose this to offset the gray house from the new silver roof that will be installed:



And I could not resist posting a picture of this cutie!!
