Framed!

The demolition part of the renovation is finished and steps are being taken to being pouring a foundation. As the old structure was being stripped, it was discovered that master bedroom was built above a wood porch, which was rotting. As a result, it was strongly suggested that we expand our slab (which was going to cover the new kitchen, family room, and master bathroom) to cover it.


The additional work will add to the ever-rising bill, but that's how it goes when renovating old houses. Actually, the original structures are typically well built. It's the additions that are often sketchy--and our home was no exception. The frame above shows where the family room and kitchen will go.


And the work goes on... At least with the demolition complete, there shouldn't be any more surprises. This is view is from Eloise's room looking through the main bathroom into the master bedroom and beyond.
