Demo and Plumbers and Framing, Oh My!

More DEMOLITION in the vestibule and second floor. We were dissapointed to find that underneath the oak strip flooring in the master bedroom we only had rough sawn pine boards. Bummer! That means that we have to replace the hardwood floors throughout the master suite. Oh well...

The PLUMBING crew came back today to begin their rough-in. They began in the new kitchen, brought in a new 50 gallon hot water heater that vents through the south wall (no more chimney, remember?), and put in the drain tile in the basement addition.

FRAMING continued on the main level and a temporary wall was constructed in the master suite, foreshadowing the beginning of framing up there. The most exciting change this week was the removal of the old main floor wall in the kitchen. We can now appreciate how large our new kitchen will be. Sweet!
