Week 2: Hole-y Moly!

Oh boy, this is the phase of the remodeling where you really hope you hired people that know what they're doing! I tried to take as many pictures as I could, but to be honest, I had a minor panic attack the day we were there.... so much work to be done!!! So I'm not sure if I took a great set of photos or not. Without further ado.... here are the new pictures :).

Aaron is standing there to give a little perspective as to the size of everything.

Nice hole in the floor, huh?

New electrical panel that was moved to the bedroom from the kitchen.

New bathroom.... what you are looking at are channels that we had to cut out of the concrete slab foundation for the pipes. I drove by the house while the contractor was doing this and saw so much dust flying out of the house, that I kept on driving!!! That hole in the upper right hand corner will be the toilet and the sink will be to the right- the shower is to the left.

This will eventually be the shower.

The laundry room. Ok, the stackable washer/dryer in the bathroom :). This is probably one of the only things that is actually staying the same.

View from living room towards bathroom and hallway (the bedroom is to the left of the bathroom).

Old insulation pile. Yummy.

View towards front door. The fridge will be against that wall closest to Aaron (basically where the turquoise and white colors are) and the island will be somewhere from where his foot is to the edge of my shadow. Roughly :).

View into the bathroom from the hallway.

The bedroom... had to turn the camera diagonal to try and get everything in. Still didn't work :).

Old hole in wall from random pipes.

More shots of the floor. We counted five layers of flooring!

The contractor is hoping for sheetrock by Friday! If so, I'll have a new sets of pictures, but I'm not 100% sure it's going to happen :).

Day 2: Demo!

I took this with my iPhone and I don't think they came out too great- but I'll post all the pictures I took. What you're seeing is what used to be the bathroom and the kitchen. Eventually, the bathroom area will be cleared out and will be part of the kitchen.

The Official "Before" Shots!

I thought the easiest way to share pictures would be through this blog-
that way I can post lots of them! So here it is....

If it looks small, that's because it is! :) 540 square feet of fun :). I know there a lot of pictures, but with such a small space, it's hard to get whole rooms into view. Hopefully you all can piece the photos together to get a good picture of the house :).

Master Bedroom: 9x11

Looks like the house inspector creeped into this picture somehow:

The Second "Bedroom", which will become the new bathroom.
It's dimensions are something like 6x7.

(yes, I'm doing laundry there while I can! I'll take any break
I can get from going to a laundromat:) ):

The teeny tiny bathroom that will be completely taken out to make room for the kitchen. You can see the demo pictures to see what a huge difference moving this bathroom makes:

These are all pictures of the living room and kitchen.

The box that is in the right side of this picture is the current bathroom:

How's that for counterspace:

View looking toward the front door:

View looking toward the backdoor:

Better angle of the bathroom "box". The bedrooms are to the right and the kitchen is to the left:

Front of the house. It has a big front yard and backs up to an alley in the back:

Guess what this storage shed will be?????? My very own place in the world! Woo-hoo!!!!!

I honestly think Ember is already enjoying her new yard!

It can't compare to Agate, but it beats her current yard :).
