Our Biggest Mess: Straightening This Old House Up

Ceiling in Living Room:
The bottom board was already there, and Thomas added the top board for support and to help bear the weight of the drywall that will be screwed to it. The particle board is holding the two together.

The beam at the top of the 12 foot opening that supports the roof.

Future sight of the kitchen sink:
The kitchen sink will go under this window!

Looking down the hall and down the new stairs (bathroom used to be where the stairs are and to the right of them).

At the end of the hall looking into the kitchen, bedroom on the right:
Do you see the white “work bench” in the kitchen? It’s the old kitchen cabinets!

Hole in the ceiling from the fireplace:
The huge fireplace was between the bathroom and the kitchen. Thomas took the whole thing out by hand! To see a video of thatclick here.

In the living room looking at the kitchen:
Again, the kitchen sink will go under the window that you can see part of. The door that you can see goes into the mudroom that we are using for our current “kitchen.” My fridge is directly behind that door. And again, the floor plans help a lot to understand the layout. Look at thosehere.
