Demo Day 2-23-22

Yep, we have a toilet on the porch and Geisha doesn't know what to make of it!

       
 

                    Walking in the front door looking into the kitchen.  Ceiling vaulted in living room.  Will have a ceiling fan with light and be painted white.

                         The two middle boards will be gone once electrician puts up fan. The electricians will be here next Friday.  That vent in the peak will have a vintage leaded and stained glass window that I found at a local antiques store.

                    Looking the opposite way, from the kitchen into the living room out onto the porch.

                   In the kitchen the sink was taken out of an old rusty, beat up metal cabinet only to find a mess underneath.  The old water heater on the other side of the room is out, we will replace it with a tankless water heater freeing up a big space in the room where a cupboard could go.

                                 This was the mess underneath the sink cabinet. There was enough space for rodents to build nests and also in the wall, which will be replaced.  Nasty!

                            Everything in the bathroom is being rearranged to make the space bigger and better.  The door was taken off.  We will eventually have a sliding barn door on both the bathroom and bedroom freeing up so much space that these big old doors take up. 

                                 This floor was taken up and happy to find the same heart pine floors as the rest of the house.  The floor will be varnished and kept wood.

                            Jake has already fixed the holes and some rotted spots where the sink was.

      The sink is being moved to the far left and the toilet is going on the far right.  We will have to shiplap the spot where the original inset mirror was.  I was hiding that hole with a hanging mirror, but now that won't work. Don't know whether I need to move the light over the sink since it is such a small wall, but still thinking on that one.

 That tiny, claustrophobic shower stall is now at the landfill!  The toilet is on the front porch lol.

            At this point not a lot to see, but today the bathtub went in, the sink is hung, the door opening to the bathroom is being reframed and adjusted.  Tomorrow they will be putting up the pvc shiplap and fixtures to shower and tub.  My kitchen cabinet is being picked up.  I met with Dennis, the driveway guy today, we discussed the bushes and trees that will have to come down, which I hate losing any, but it has to be done. Weather has been nice, 72 degrees today making reno move along.
