Week 2

So week 2 begins with construction rather than destruction. Framing starts.

Once all our false ceiling bits came down we discovered high ceiling did exist in the kitchen, 9 ft 6 inch ones to be precise. What a treat. Since it isn't the biggest room, we had previously decided that if we had more height available we would only go up to 9 feet so it wouldn't feel too high. The framing gives us a good idea what this will look like.

The carpenter also begins the process of framing in the new shower stall. We have decided to remove the tub and install a steam shower. A different look for sure, but one that will work for us. We can hardly wait.

Of course we also discovered the thinnest possible insulation in the world. I guess the good news is there was some, which explains why it was a little warmer in the back of the house.
