The remodel continues...

Here's the latest outside picture of the house. There will be a larger window between the two smaller windows above the garage. They are waiting for the dry wallers to pull the dry wall through that space before they put the window in.
This is what we got to clean-up on Friday before we packed for a band tour to Victoria leaving the following day. Ugh.

The dogs enjoyed exploring the pile.

We had a number of surprises Fiday. The first is the two heating vents you see. These were not expected and had to be rerouted through other walls because this wall is being replaced with a beam. The second surpries was that under our house rats had nested in the insulation around the heating pipes. They not only shredded a bunch of insulation but also ripped up the pipes in a couple of spots. Yuck! Mom and I did surround sound wiring last summer and new something had gotten down ther, just not what. Glad we didn't see them. Now we also know why the dogs were going nuts at the vents for a while.

It took an hour of sweeping and vacuuming to clean-up the carpet after moving the dry wallHere's the beam that is replacing the support wall that is being removed

Now you can see the wall that the beam is replacing

Here is the back wall of the bonus room above our garage

The beam is up! Yeah, the office is gone and we have a larger living room.

Looking from where the office was into the rest of the house. We are calling this our "ET" house.
