Date: 08/25/2010
This room is on the left as you enter the front. Large enough to be a fair sized room for a TV.

Date: 08/25/2010
This bathroom has been completely torn out and will be a laundry room. Think I can get a 220V plug for a dryer/welder?

new doorway
Date: 08/26/2010
We knocked out a doorway between the halls to give access to the northwest of the house via the back. Will be used to get to the master bedroom.

I had 2 closets knocked out to make room for a walk-in closet and master bath. A closet will also come the other way from the northwest corner bedroom.

Kitchen demo progress
Date: 08/26/2010
Tore the sheet rock off the kitchen wall. There was some question as to how the load was distributed, but it was pretty obvious those 2x4's weren't under compression. Still, we made the engineer look at it.

old vs new
Date: 08/26/2010
You can see the old brick behind the new (ugly, sealed) brick. I like the old look, but the grout is like sand.
