This is my view of the the backyard. It's where me and Kepper sit and have our morning coffee. It's part of the living room or the great room or whatever they were trying to do here.Years back they enclosed a back porch to make the room larger. They left the overhang from the entryway instead of cutting it back. It looks stupid. It's got to go, but not today.
Today we threw in a request for the guys to board up a window instead of replacing it. It was one of three that were in the back room, the knotty pine room (it will make a great office for John). The first picture shows what we found when we took the plywood from off the wall. They just closed it up and left the curtains in as a . . . oh hell I don't know what they were thinking. There was so much wood rot that the sill was completely gone. It would have cost more to buy a window and rebuild the frame. The look from outside was screaming, "help". It had to go. So they put new clad board on the outside, framed the inside and put up some of the extra knotty pine from the demo.
Oh Happy Day!
The plumbers showed up today and installed the plumbing for a wash machine. Then they cut the pipes from the two bathrooms off the bedrooms and removed the fixtures so they can come back tomorrow and build up the new wall so they can take down the old one. I measured the bathroom, it was 3' by 8', hardly big enough for a shower, a sink, a toilet and a human.
This is an overhead view of the floor space and lack of . . .
This picture is of the upstairs bathroom John had previously demo'd. The plumbers will run water lines back upstairs and this project will have to wait for another year.
