Our renovation began with demo week within the main suite upstairs. Listed here are the progress pics!

The workforce is into the swing of issues over there – our main bed room is now open to the clear blue sky!
After we began planning the row of home windows on the again wall of the upstairs, it was this view that we had been after. Our home sits excessive up on a hill, and we will see mountains by way of the bushes on a transparent day!

Simply that sliver of sunshine makes the house SO MUCH HAPPIER! I can’t wait to have a ravishing window looking to the yard.
The Little Dormer
The holes within the roof had been created to construct the dormer, which is a strategy to sq. off the attic partitions to regular ceiling peak. I’m solely 5’2″ so I didn’t hit my head too many instances over the previous 8 years, however Thomas (at 6′ tall) discovered the sloped partitions way more difficult.
How They Body The Dormers
The crew poked a decrease row of holes and an higher row of holes and have been framing the little dormer from the surface, anchoring the body by way of the holes. As soon as the body is full, the within roof part comes down. This minimizes exposing the home to the weather till the dormer is prepared.
Openings for home windows
The one on the left is the toilet and the one on the suitable is on the high of the steps touchdown into the bed room.
That’s my father-in-law, John, up there on a roof at nearly 70! This complete workforce is so expert (and powerful and courageous!)

The entire demo week has been thoughts blowing to me!
Thomas says it begins with a bang and issues change in a short time, then there’s a lengthy lull with not a lot to see because the subs are available in (electrical, plumbing) after which it ends with a bang when all of the finishes go in (paint, tile, fixtures).
Comply with Together with Demo Weeks Forward!
