New patio door from outsideOriginally uploaded by brocklrocks.
This was a big week in terms of changes at the house. The stairs have finally been installed and make a HUGE difference in the appearance of the kitchen dining area. (not to mention less of a worry of hitting your head!)
The new patio door has been installed in the kitchen area, bringing in tons of natural light. It doesn’t look so gloomy in the house anymore.
The foyer has been the big project this week, framing out the new closet, new floorboards and the entrance to the living room, while getting ready to install all new windows and a new front door. This will be the first impression of the house upon entry, so alot of care needs to go into it.
Next week, we will have the windows and doors installed, and alot more of the frame work done. Keep watching!

Future home of new stairsOriginally uploaded by brocklrocks.
Another busy week at the house. As you can see, the stairs came out. And don’t worry, the ladder is not our new answer to stairs, although they take up very little space! The stairs are in the process of being built and hope to be installed the beginning of next week.Upon removing the stairs and beginning to frame, we realized it would just make more sense to rip out and replace the flooring in the kitchen and dining room as well, so voila! It gives the room a much cleaner look (and smell!)The floors have now all been replaced upstairs as well, making it easier to begin framing the bedrooms once the stairs are all back in.
The patio door is framed and about to be installed any day. The windows have all been removed and are being reframed for the new windows, which because of a little glitch are a touch late but should be in any day.
We found another set of tenants upon tearing out one of the windows, a LARGE hornets nest, gives you the eebie jeebies just to look at it! It must have been a TREAT in there last summer.
Next week, both patio doors, should be installed, the stairs will be complete and we’re moving on to the foyer. Stay tuned!!
