Movin' Right Along

The past week (4.17 through 4.23), the carpentry was fine tuned, the hall closet upstairs was removed to make room for a floor to ceiling cabinet in the kitchen (leaving us with a tiny hall cabinet), and the linen closet ws framed for the downstairs bath. The ceiling height in that bath will be raised, which will be great. The electrician came today and we did a walk-thru to outline our wish list and he will return tomorrow to begin all the new wiring for the kitche, DR, LR and hallway. So, these things are ahead of schedule, if you can believe that, BUT the shower stall will be arriving in 3 more weeks which is 3 weeks late! We should be fine for a finish date in the long run. Thanks for checking in!

Our Temporary kitchen.

Lighting items arrived 2 days before the electrician!

Framing for the linen closet.

The AC duct running downstairs to give some more air flow.

We also decided to remove some of the wall at the foot of the stairs which will give more flow and open up to the playroom.

Lastly, the ugly AC duct that was left exposed in the LR has been placed into the wall. A new opening was created between the DR/ LR. The plywood you see will be a new 2nd layer of subfloor which will be put down in an opposing pattern to the current plywood after the 1st layer is re-nailed down. This should solve the prominent squeaking!
