New happenings!

The demo continues in my home every day. Since I have last posted the new door placement has been cut out  for hallway access for the upstairs bathroom and the supporting wall was removed as far as demo.

First the doorway: the view from both the hallway as you approach, and then the view out of the doorway from the future bathroom entry.

Next the supporting wall being removed: now you see them, now you don't!

 One of the things to note in the picture is the lack of insulation on the wall behind where the tub used to be. The original builder of this home never put it in, which was illegal even for that time. Yay for my contractor finding this and being able to fix it.

Next I'll show a wide view of the bathroom as of now:

 The frame is being put up in the bedroom, and the second picture will probably be one of the last I'll have where I'll be able to see into the bathroom from the bedroom. You can also see in the first picture the beams that were put up for the dropped ceiling we'll have in the bathroom.

And lastly, we have light!! Or rather, lights :]. Canned lights were installed in the kitchen a few days ago, and today they installed them in the stairway and upstairs hallway. Only place left to install lights now are both bathrooms, my vanity, and the laundry room.

 Before..

.. and after!

Entry way lighting 

 Staircase lighting! You can see the hole where the previous light was.

That's enough updates for now. Tomorrow I'll post about some changes we made to our plans in the kitchen and windows. I will also include inspiration pictures from my neighbor :].
