Construction Photos 06.28 - 07.04

We've tried to keep track of progress over the past 10 days or so.  A lot has happened in a short time!  Here are a few photos to give you an idea of what's been going on.
Starting to take down the drywall on the coat closet (left).  It and the washer-dryer closet (center) will be coming down to open up the kitchen.  We're moving the w/d under the stairs and the coats will just have to hang on the wall.

We're framing in a new window to get some light in the middle of the house!  Crossing our fingers that the stacked w/d (center) will still work.

Siding off, sheathing off, sheathing on, paper on and sealed up.  That's Kyle checking the level on our skirt board before we start to measure cuts for siding.

Another shot of the new window-to-be, yes we're excited about the window.  The range, though still here, did not make it through the flood.  Ah well!

Our new kitchen-to-be.  We've demolished the closet and two walls of the old washer-dryer room.  You can just barely make out traces of the walls on our floor.  I'm working on a detail for the giant holes in our ceiling where the closets used to be. 

Base trim, flashing, smooth Hardie panel and cedar battens are up.  Add some door trim and this side will be ready for a coat of paint!  Very exciting.

Really fine Justin. An amazing amount of work in that time. Wish your uncle were there to help. Maybe he'd learn to pick up the pace. :-) Ya'll could train him in the faster but well done approach. Looks Great!!
