House Project News

So, it's been a year since we started "the basement project" which really has turned into a "house project" in that we've impacted every other room of our house in some way. The good news is we're finally getting to enjoy the fruits of all of our subcontractors' labors.

Here is a reminder of the exterior of our house (only just one year ago) before paint stripping and front porch and gable addition:

Thanks to Dave's hard work and good eye, here is a picture of the front of our house now:

And we're really happy with how the open floor plan on the main floor has turned out:

We've finally stained and sealed the built-in bookshelves and railing also designed and constructed by Dave:

Lucy likes not having to listen to all the construction noises anymore:

We've already slept 6 nights in our new downstairs bedroom!:

The hallway in the basement that leads to the laundry room, bathroom and 2nd guest bedroom:

The fully functioning laundry room!:

Our downstairs shower with actual hot water coming from the pipes!:

The sink will be hooked up next week and centered under the light fixture:

The clawfoot tub will be moved into the corner over the weekend and hooked up next week:
