Them: The contractors have been busy this week framing the basement. All of the exterior walls are framed for insulation and sheetrock. They built two closets, one in the main hallway and one in the bedroom. They moved the door for the bathroom into the bedroom, and they closed off the stairs so that we can access storage from above. Things are taking shape quickly. I'm a little worried that we created a long narrow hallway that will feel super tight once it's closed in, but we'll have to wait and see.
The living room/new kitchen all framed in
looking towards the back of the house - stairs framed in on the left, new closet on the right
from the bedroom, a new opening to the bathroom
new bedroom closet
bedroom exterior walls get framed
Utility closet before - a mess of randomness
utility closet after-
two new shelves, a hangy thing and a camping light make for a nicely organized space.
empty pantry is ready to become a half bath
new pantry area in dining room
destroyed dining room is full of pantry and basement crap.
Next up: It's time for the contractors to start working on electrical and plumbing for the basement, which will be slow and unimpressive, but very important. We need to start with the basement bathroom and shopping, since we haven't bought a thing yet. Also need to find a way to better manage this mess. I guess our dinner party days are over for a while.
