progress is slowly showing

 the living room with the french doors torn out and the drop ceiling removed.

 its all temporary to please the bank so we can finish with the loan. all the plaster will be taken down to do it right.

 the wall that separated the dining and the kitchen, and the drop ceiling torn out. started chipping away at the plaster on the chimney to expose the brick.

 removing the dang plaster takes forever. son of a buck.

 custom kitchen by gable. just kidding. its just to please the bank again. it'll all be ripped out the day we sign the final papers. along with that window that is lower than counter height.

 the wall between the two bedrooms was taken out to make one big room for the master.  will end up doing a soffit box with recessed lights eventually.

this is where the closet was that our friend jeremy framed out. i think wife gave the go ahead on that one. FAIL. being the great architect I am, pointed out that there would be no place to put the bed. going to make "floating" shelves for either side of the bed in place of night stands.

this is a little closet under the stairs. somehow it burnt all of the inside and the fire went in the wall, above where the french doors were. crazy meth heads. i blocked the door so no one i didnt want get in, like the crazy appraiser lady.

some people just shouldn't try to remodel. having 3 different roof pitches meeting all awas a horrible idea.

i hate this more than anything. trying to "plug" this hole to please the bank is a serious headache. this is halfway through putting up trim to hide much as i can. i cant wait for Demo-Day.

not sure what some people are thinking when they try to install their own shower/tub. idiots. this tub is going to get trashed, and ill frame walls for a walk in shower. fancy.

the washer and dryer will be going to the other side of the wall in the mudroom. ill be getting a claw foot tub to go where the washer and dryer are now. we'll lose the massive water heater and get a sweet on-demand one. i also picked up a almost brand new toilet from a guy i    was installing a shower door for, for FREE. he was just going to throw it away. plus its white, not light pink.

we'll replace this stupid sink with this sweet ikea sink. gotta love sweden. ill have chris the cabinet guy make me a base cabinet that it a little taller than standard height. probably in the ball park of 38".  i just hate low sinks. and then ones with faucets so close to the back of the bowl you cant get your hands under the water the whole way.
