Moving Right Along

This is day 5 of the renovations. There sure has been alot accomplished in 5 days, these men are like carpenter ants that have gotten into the caffeine! So far the house has been stripped of the clap board siding, all but six of the twenty one windows have been installed and the house has been wrapped in that fancy Home Hardware paper.
Today is the day I've been waiting for...the sunroom is being removed and an open verandah will take it's place!
Once the exterior walls and windows came down they had to put beams in to hold the roof up. Hold 'er steady Howie!! Next the interior walls are stripped...let's see what's underneath that canvas paper...
Oh look....there was once a window on this wall. Apparently the sunroom was an add on way back when. See the pretty flowery wallpaper era 60's or maybe 70's?


The old hardwood floor had to be removed as well because of termite damage and rot...of course! Nothing suprises me at this point...just have to grin and bear it.


This is the end result for today. Plywood was put down on the floor, then a layer of rubber membrane to make it leak proof and then a second layer of plywood on top. The beam then received some decorative molding compliments of the boss, Jeff Cooke whom agrees with me when I say "It's all about the details". This team of men are awesome in that no corners will be cut, nothing covered up and hidden away. Tomorrow some more windows will go in and the deck will get some stain. Looking good guys!
