Walls, Walls, Walls!

May 22^nd

Yesterday I went out to the lot to check on the progress and there were walls! Lots of walls! It was so surreal walking through the halls we had seen on paper for the last 9 months. My first impression is that I had no idea how big our “small” 3 foot by 6 foot window would be let alone the rest of the windows. The amount of light that will be coming in will be incredible! I am so glad we stuck with big windows!

We are already seeing that we want to make some minor changes. The window placement in the master bath and 2^nd bath and the pocket doors in master bath are not the right width.The windows are too close to each other. The master bath pocket doors were built to accommodate a 30 inch wide door and the plans call for a 36 inch wide door. The header heights for the pocket doors are not high enough either. We are still early in the progress and these changes will be easy to make.

K and I are frantically working to decide what doors to order when, and what windows to order and what tubs to order. I feel like we will be playing catch up for the next couple of weeks. J

 My first look as I walked up on Wednesday.

 Future location of entry porch.

These three windows are in our master bath and second bath.

Future stair well and garage wall.

Looking back at the entry room and laundry room.

 Living room

 Living room again.

  Looking down the hall with the pantry on the left.

The front door wall going up!

 This is the plumbing fail. Those pipes are supposed to be within the cutout in the plate (the plate is the 2x4 on the bottom of wall). Did you catch that?...I used a technical term IN context even!! ;) The concrete will have to be cut more to than it already is to accommodate the necessary changes.

 Second bath. The window is too close to the wall the toilet is on. No one wants to be totally exposed in front of a window while on a toilet. :)

 Master bath and closet.
