More framing and doors; good eatin' among the ruins.....
Sept. 11th -- Very good meeting with the contractor this morning...things are pretty much on schedule for the project to wrap up in December. All framing should be done by the end of this week or early next week at the latest.
The framers worked on the hallway to the master bedroom today, as shown below. On your right (in the photo directly below) is the framing for the closet and on the left you can see the doorway for the master bathroom.
Above is another view of the master bathroom framing taken from the master bedroom. Eventually they will need to frame a wall on the door that currently leads to the bathroom that I am using. Fortunately, when the chimney stack is removed, there will be a temporary entry into this bathroom so that the rest of the framing for the master bathroom can be completed.
Meanwhile, on the main-level we're getting some "door action." The south wall of the gathering room addition will include floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and in the middle of the bookcase wall will be the door to the basement stairwell. That door will be a very cool pocket door, and these photos show the framing for the future pocket door.
The rear-entry back door and the door that leads to the covered deck off the master bedroom have arrived and are awaiting installation. Each door has a half-window with blinds within the door as shown below.
Last week it was blistering heat, and today it has been torrential downpours. Fall has clearly arrived! As the last days of summer are winding down, I decided to enjoy the fruits of my garden pots with a caprese salad of garden tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and garden basil with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar....and a bit more red wine.
