Bringing the outdoors in...

This is the 'new' part of our sweet old house!

The House was built somewhere around 1900 and, sometime in the 20's we think, when they thought that indoor plumbing was the wave of the future, they added this wooden framed addition to the back which has all of the substantial plumbing in it...

Well... it's gotta go! We've struggled with the idea of how to make it work but there isn't enough there to make into something that isn't there so...

Duwayne and his crew go to work and
cut the roof off of our house!
Then, like some giant munching through the christmas gingerbread, parts of the back began to disappear!
The walls of the upstairs cascaded down to the backyard leaving that open airy feeling to the place that is so appealing...

The second floor disappeared into the dumpster and we had a moment to really appreciate the fine color choices that the last owners had made for the bathroom walls...

Until, with a huge cacophony of saws, bad language, and the sound of heavy things falling from great heights...
it was all gone...

The canvas back here is prepped and now?
