More framing

I had an appointment with our contractor over at the house early last week. When I drove up to the house, the first thing I noticed was that the demolition of the front window was in process. This photo was taken around 10:00am that day. The front door entryway of the remodeled house will be located where the window was before.

Below is the side window area that you could look through into the living room on the way in the front door in the old house.

 It was easy to notice finished work inside the home as well. Notice the plumbing running through the ceiling of the first floor and down through (what will be) a wall. The blue boxes on the framing indicate where the architect has called for electrical switches. We will do a walk through of the home to make sure we like the location of the electrical switches and outlets before the electrician installs the wiring.

In the photo below you can see that the electrician has started installing the cans that will hold the light bulbs throughout the ceiling.

Scott's outdoor kitchen area is pictured below.

The deck space off the game room surprised me the most. I took this photo standing just inside the game room looking out towards the backyard, where we will have french doors leading from the game room out to the deck. For some reason, I had pictured the deck to be much smaller, kind of like a hotel balcony or the size of a balcony on a cruise ship. But this space is huge! We will be able to put lounge chairs outside if we want.

I took this photo around 12:00pm when I was leaving the house. The entire front window area is gone!

Two days later I drove by the house and noticed the framing for the new entryway is in place. I like it! I look forward to seeing the exterior continue to evolve in the coming weeks. Our windows arrived in Dallas last week so the crew should begin window installation this week.
