I’m again with every other renovation replace!! This time we’re that specialize in framing, home windows, doorways, and trim. See the entire renovation posts right here. Observe alongside in actual time on Instagram right here. 

The framing of our space is sort of performed!

All the partitions were framed, and the group simply completed up a large number of the outside trim paintings final week. Whilst the diversities aren’t as dramatic as when part the home was once lacking, it’s been SO EXCITING to look the areas come to form!

Downstairs

I’ve been dreaming of the day after I may just stand within the eating room and glance to the some distance wall of the brand new kitchen!

You’ll see the place the picket ground ends and the plywood starts the place the previous kitchen wall was once. 

The way it appeared sooner than: 

Such a lot intensity!

This is the opposite view from kitchen taking a look to eating room:

You’ll see a large number of the internal partitions at the moment are framed.

The view from the kitchen sink:

Gutted

I’ve stated 1,000,000 occasions in individual and a couple of occasions in weblog posts: I had no concept we have been doing this a lot paintings. The home is mainly gutted apart from for the lounge and boys rooms. All of the upstairs is gutted and the entire kitchen.

Thomas has replied me 1,000,000 occasions that it’s simply more straightforward to demo one thing like a ceiling and rebuild new than to check out to fix and paintings with current. That’s why he made up our minds to demo the plaster kitchen ceiling. In doing so, he discovered $300 price of copper that he offered for money! So it was once price it. 

Insulation Is Thomas’s Center Title

He is a big fan of “sealing within the envelope” of a space and making it as power environment friendly and inexperienced as conceivable. Our major ground partitions have NO insulation in the back of the previous unique plaster!! Our home is lovely drafty within the iciness, and he’s sealing off each and every wall he can with fashionable insulation. 

You’ll see right here within the mudroom he’s framed a brand new wall over the opposite one. He sought after to do that in the lounge and children’ rooms too, however since the ones rooms are small first of all he made up our minds in opposition to it (a minimum of that I do know of, haha!)

Pantry + Mudroom

Talking of the mudroom, the mudroom alcove is coming alongside! This was once at the start going to be a room with a door – nearly like a large walk-in closet – however we felt it closed the whole lot off an excessive amount of so we made up our minds to make it extra of a corner. 

Sooner than:

The brand new mudroom is the place the previous coat rack was once – it simply is going again into that hollow space past within the storage!

Right here’s the way it began with the storage door open:

The 3 home windows have been framed first:

This wall could have white plank siding over it ultimately so it’s gained’t appear to be a storage door anymore.

Pantry + Mudroom Partitions

The pantry is at the proper and the mudroom at the left right here. The pantry has 2 of the home windows in it and the mudroom one. 

View from front room / entrance door into new mudroom:

Application Closet

The final “room” to be constructed was once this little application closet! 

Sooner than:

It’ll have garage for brooms / vacuums and shelving for such things as reusable luggage, trash luggage, hand vac, and extra. Two double doorways will shut it off. 

Upstairs

Our Closets

Upstairs our closets have taken form! At the start I used to be going to have the only at the left – the only with the hearth and ordinary form – however we made up our minds I’d have the only at the proper as an alternative because it’s extra spacious. 

My closet (in vast perspective mode)

The door to the attic / garage room might be in thoughts, however I’m hoping we will get one with glass so I will get some herbal mild from the attic window. 

MOLD!

We additionally discovered MOLD within the stairwell the place there was once a large insulation factor!! Gross!!!

That wall has now been demoed. And the insulation problems will all be mounted!

The View!!!

I took this pic on a sunny day final week. They normally have plastic over the home windows (till the brand new ones arrive in Would possibly and may also be put in) and it was once so beautiful with the daylight pouring in!

A reminder that this was once the sooner than view….!

Our Bathe

Oh yeah, and our bathe has been mapped out! The fairway section might be a pleasing 3-shelf area of interest for our merchandise. 

Inspiration picture:

External

The Entrance Porch

The entrance porch is getting some minor upkeep to its ceiling and trim.

When the got rid of the previous ceiling they discovered some of the beams had completely rotted for the reason that flashing was once performed incorrectly! It in point of fact is loopy 1) how a lot is going on in the back of the outer layers of a space and a pair of) how unhealthy moisture is! 

In addition they took this window out!

A laugh reality: it was once put in the other way up 🙂 

Basement Paintings

One of the crucial primary issues we’re doing is a brand new drain to the kitchen sink, which had subsidized up 5-10 occasions of the 8 years I’ve lived right here. The week I moved in spray foam clogged the drain and I’ve had issues ever since! We’re getting a unconditionally new drain during the again facet of the home, and they demoed a portion of the basement to create space. 

The zip plastic rings a bell in my memory of E.T. ! 

Subsequent Up: The Roof

Over the following few weeks the point of interest might be on HVAC, plumbing, and electric so I’m now not positive there might be a lot to look. 

However the following large factor will have to be the brand new steel roof!! Adopted through home windows : )
