Sorry for another blog that is a day late. But Wednesday was a great day. Johnny Flatt started today and a lot of interior work got done. Work began on removing the wall between the living room and the kitchen. The electrical had to be killed for the outlets running through the wall before all the studs could be removed.While looking at how to install the beam, Johnny mentioned putting the beam in the attic. This way it would be above all the ceiling rafters and they would be attached to it using hangers. Then the beam is supported on either end. Look below to see what I am talking about. This way, there will not be around a foot beam coming down from the ceiling into the room. It will look much much better finished.
The bathroom door is being moved over to the left so that a small vanity can be put where the very small sink is now. So we cut the opening wider after removing the door and its frame. At the moment the opening is much larger than the door, but will be fit to the right size after the rest of the work is done in the bathroom.
Also, an opening for a small door was cut in the bathroom wall that will open into the hall closet. The hall closet is being fitted for a stackable washer and dryer with shelves to the right of it. So when this small bathroom door is opened, the shelves from the "laundry room" will be right there and easily accessible.
The final photo shows the back wall of the hall closet removed. It is being pushed back to make room for the stackable washer/dryer unit.
While Johnny and I worked inside, Josh and Parke (who both worked half days -- Parke in the morning and Josh in the afternoon) did other fun stuff. They continued on the ever fun ditch, which has sort of become save it for last project. They also took a ton of trash to the dump and knocked out the the kitchen cabinets uppers. I honestly know they did more than that, but can't for the life of me remember what else.
