Bramwell Renovation Journey

So, this weekend was productive as it relates to progress on the house. Matt was in North Myrtle Beach for a networking golf event, so I was in charge of house stuff. Luckily, I was in town, because I caught a couple of what would have been "big" problems. 1. The were going to put doors between the kitchen and den.... not in the plans. There isn't even supposed to be a wall in that location. 2. They were going to keep the size of the master bed room instead of make it a foot longer in one direction. That may seem small, but not as it relates to furniture placement. Earlier last week we thought we might have a roof today and as you will see in the following images that is not the case! Patience is a virtue and we learn a little more about that every day.

This picture shows the house on Thursday afternoon. There is no roof on it - obviously. The roof is what you see laying across the front porch!

This is standing in the house looking up. It rained later in the afternoon that this was taken. I freaked out about it, but it turned out not to be the end of the world.

This shot was taken from inside the same day. A little hard to see because of all of the sunlight pouring in. Taken from the back of the house.

This was taken this evening. Different from Thursday. They've removed the aluminum siding as well as the original wood siding that was behind it. Also, they've removed all of the old windows and added the studs around where the new front door will go.

This was taken in the future stair case. It's the only place in the house where I can see blue sky when I look up.

Here is a shot taken from right inside the front door. The fireplace on the left will be removed later and bookcases will take the place. People question getting rid of a fireplace, but this one would need replacing. Unfortunately, a new masonry fireplace is not in the budget!! Matt is standing in what will be the kitchen.
