Just when I thought we were done with demolition, I forgot about this guy:
That's our laundry closet. If you've never been to our house, let me paint a picture for you about what it's been like doing business with this guy. It's right in Kevin's "bedroom", which actually has no door but is considered a "room" because there is a "closet" in it. (Please don't report me to Unnecessary Quotes, all these quotes are truly necessary). He's been living this way for a few years now so we thought it would be best to officially welcome him to adulthood by giving him a door and closet, and moving the laundry center out of his room and into the addition.
And here she goes:
This is the "closet" in the hallway to Guff's "room". This also had to go in order to make room for our new furnace and water heater.
Bye-bye "closet". The gray plastic square on the floor is a hole to the crawlspace where the furnace will sit.
New furnace. You can see the duct work to the left, which will be inside Kevin's new closet.
Framing. The furnace and water heater will go behind bi-fold doors, and one day we'll finish Kevin's closet and door.
Ain't it a beauty?
So our furnace and water heater used to be in a giant protruding closet in our kitchen. See it behind that giant dog, with the doors and the coat rack? Since we moved the water heater and furnace to the hallway, it's now giving us some much-needed extra storage space. Down the road when we have some more dough and have recovered from this remodel project, it will be knocked out during a kitchen remodel.
This is the hole left in the floor of the closet where the furnace used to be. It had to come out so we could actually put stuff on the floor. Apparently I'm not quite strong enough or determined enough to take something like this out on my own.
So once again it's Will to the rescue. Down the hatch he goes...(4 8 15 16 23 42).
And this is what we were left with.
Next post I'll hopefully have some attic pics to share.
