I don't know all of what was completed on which day(s) so I have divided up the pictures over the course of a couple of entries. You can see Kristin and Grace checking out progress on the front porch.
Nearly all of the windows are now in, with only the large picture window that we're moving from the first floor to the second floor's landing remaining to be installed. Below you can see the new, smaller window which is in the bar/butler pantry area and the mason bricked in the empty space.
The workers also installed two sets of pocket door inserts to our master bathroom and walk-in closet (below). One more will be put in downstairs to set off the in-law suite from the rest of the house.
The carpenters also switched out the temporary supports on the porch for the real columns that now hold up the roof of the porch. They will eventually be trimmed out and painted.
There's still some work to do beneath the porch because a gas line and sump pump pipe have to be moved to another location.
The picture below is of the first floor bathroom which will also be part of the in-law suite. We decided to re-do it when we saw how bad a shape it looked compared to the rest of the house. The floor joists were replaced in an earlier posting, so at least there's a sub-floor now.
I also got to take a look downstairs and see the finished product of the brand new downstairs/first floor HVAC system. Pretty exciting, right? Hard to stop a "Trane."
The next installment will reveal the long-awaited addition to the rear of the house!
