Week 2!  The work crew was busy yesterday.  Walls are now just boards, doorways and windows are framed, and our laundry room makeover is about 50% done.  Check it out!

Standing in the driveway, looking at the carport and storage room.  The two 'empty' walls are becoming interior walls, but apparently they have to be stripped naked first!

Looking straight into the carport. Someday there will be a wall, with fireplace, here!  Not much has changed inside the carport since the very beginning, but it is a great storage/work space for the work crew.

Charlotte! This is standing inside the rear of the storage room, looking in toward the carport. That area Charlotte is looking at (with the white ceiling) used to be part of our laundry room!  And the open floor she is checking out is open to the crawl space under the house! Our laundry room is much smaller now, the washing machine hook ups had to be moved, and it all happened in one day!

With all the missing walls and changing rooms, this still makes me laugh.  The exterior electrical meter, hidden behind the bucket, that can't be moved yet.  So it sits on this one preserved bit of brick wall - and I almost walked into the bucket twice today.

The new laundry room!  That's just dry wall, not a paint color, in case you're wondering. This view is from the kitchen looking in, with a little swivel to the left. The room is now just big enough for the two machines, and they will have shelving above them.  Also, that drywall will have a doorway in it soon - that'll be the entry to the master bedroom.

Laundry room again, view from the kitchen, but a little swivel to the right. This is currently the door to our carport (which we can't use).  The doorway will remain, but will be a pocket door to the family room.
As a teaser for tomorrow - a tractor just like this one (this is not actual footage from our Construction Junction!) was waiting in the street this morning for me to get my car out of the driveway.  Something's getting torn up today!

  1. Great pictures, Lacey, and I appreciate your getting the kids and Buster into them occasionally. Good to add that human interest dimension! Progress is being made, no doubt about that.
    Love,
    Dad
