It has been just over two weeks since we started this project, but it feels like a lot longer. Dad and Earl have found ways to open up areas of the house. The hallway that was closed off, in now open. The family room that was once a bedroom with a wall knocked out, now is all one room, with no more random closet in it.
The odd book case like structure was actually an attempt to hide wires that were inside the bedroom wall that was torn out. We originally thought it was housing a vent pipe from the laundry downstairs, only to find the previous owners had simply cut it off, up top at the ceiling and down at the floor level. We found a solution from that and removed the unused and unnecessary pipes after that.
I'm finding the pictures cannot do it justice, and I am exhausted from painting and cleaning almost every night. Here is a picture of what the family room looked like when we bought the house. Notice the closet on the right wall. That is now part of a larger closet in the bedroom behind the wall-- and the random doorway that led to no where???? Dad and Earl closed it off, so now the hallway entrance is wide and open. It's gonna be great!
