Lots of work has been going on at the house the last several days. Holes for them were cut yesterday and the external kitchen wall was removed. Framing for the wall separating the new room and the living room was completed. It's fun to see it!
Thought I'd put up a few photos. I've been working on some high-pressure deadlines and am stealing a bit of time away to do post these photos.
Today the sky lights are being framed and put in the roof. I need to learn to warn the workers when I'll take a photo. Manny (right) was busy using the sawzall (a saw of sorts) to cut a hole in the roof. You can see he was forced to work around all the electrical wiring in the house to do so.
He's focused on what he's doing and "FLASH" I take a photo. I didn't realize the camera would flash! He ducked out of that hole really fast thinking he'd hit something hot! A second later, he and Frank (and the rest of us) are cracking up!
It's not often you can see a man standing on your ceiling looking out the roof of your home!
They are in the process of putting in the new kitchen window right now. You can see the hole from the window that was just removed. Still waiting to understand why any builder would put a window abutting a wall like this one was!?!? The new window is a transom window (71"x35" I believe).
Here is a view of the completed framing for the new room. The sheet rock guys will come in a week or so.
Pretty soon we'll start seeing things coming together in a finished fashion instead of a lot of destruction. Sure an enjoying the destruction though!
EDIT:
I'm adding some additional photos to show what the kitchen looks like with the window installation complete...
The new window frame was completed and the prep for installation done.
With great ease, the window popped in the hole. Some measuring and levels and whatever happened and voila, we had a new centered, larger window!
Looks really terrific. Check out all the light in this area now.
