Let There Be Light! - Day 25

On the 25th Day (or so)... He said "Let There Be Light" ...And it was Good!
Check out the French doors on the back side of the house!

You can see how the crew took out the old smaller windows and replaced them with these awesome 8 feet tall French doors. Then the brick mason expertly filled in the spaces between, recycling the old bricks that were taken out of our chimney and from the upper sides of the house. The brick will eventually be painted white with the rest of the house. Here's a closer look as Kristin and Grace give them an inspection.

And now for a look from the inside. This was late in the day, about an hour before dusk. Isn't all of that light great? This is taken from the kitchen side of the room looking toward what used to be the old guest room, Jack-n-Jill bathroom and our master bedroom at the other end with the green wall. You can also see the old window that was bricked in. There will eventually be bookshelves and a space for the TV on that wall.

And from another angle. This is taken from about where that bricked in window from the picture above is located. Grace is standing on what used to be our Jack-n-Jill bathroom that joined the old master bedroom and guest room. A total of three walls were taken out to create this larger kitchen/entertaining area.

Here's a look at the railing at the top of the staircase on the second floor landing. Those will eventually all be bookshelves.

The will be lots of great sunlight coming through the big picture window to the left (not installed yet), especially late in the day. Perfect to just chill out in a nice easy chair and read.

And now, another look at Grace's room and the lovely window that will provide some natural light to her reading loft.

Below is one of the closets that has now been enclosed. This is in the upstairs spare room and is on the side where there are a couple of eaves, so it has a fun angle to it. Maybe Harry Potter can sleep in there!

I must admit, I didn't think we'd be this far along after just one month. I know things will slow down to an excruciating pace in the next couple of weeks, especially for the Christmas holidays, but this has been utterly amazing. Cheers!
