Week #11-12

The project has really gone through a transformation over the last two weeks.  We have almost finished installing the cedar shingles, and next week we’ll start putting lap siding on the remaining walls. On the inside we’ve started drywalling.  The additions, as well as the existing kitchen will all have new drywall installed on their walls and ceilings.  The photo below shows a view of the kitchen from the back entry.  Next week, we’ll hopefully have photos of the new kitchen and we’ll talk about the cabinet design!

While work continued on the additions and kitchen, the back porch got under way!  The existing porch consisted of a concrete patio (with a large crack down the middle) and a metal roof.  The new porch will be a covered cedar deck, built to match the master suite deck (shown in the photo below.)  The new porch will be more consistent aesthetically with the overall look of the home.
