house-in-progress pics

i know you all want to see more pics of the house down the street that's being redone. :D i think they're thisclose to putting up drywall, altho the plumbing might have to go in first. and maybe some windows.





looks like they're putting in a front porch. also the middle window on the second floor is being closed up on account of wall, and the big piece o' plywood on the first floor is hiding two doors. it's a double-decker now.



aaaaaand there goes another window.



i just wanted to show off the second floor ceiling. :D and the tiny window on top, which i guess is an attic window. i don't think that ceiling is high enough for a full top floor.



the side steps were all cleared off so i went up them and peeked over the plywood they'd used to block the door. i'm pretty sure this is the kitchen in front - the room with the sawhorses - but i have no idea what the room behind it is. a bedroom? an office? not a clue. at this point it's hard to tell what the rooms are supposed to be, because there's no plumbing. i love that they kept this one lone post from the old construction, but everything else is new wood.



about the middle of the unit. you can see the stairs up to the second floor unit and a doorway leading to the stairs down to the basement. also there's a front room and what looks like a small hallway, and i think three small rooms back there (between the room that looks onto the street and the room that looks over the back yard) that i can't figure out. one of them has to be a bathroom but i couldn't tell you what the other two are.



the front of the house! it looks like there's just one big room along this side, with what would probably be the living room up front leading into the dining room and then kitchen/great room. sort of. i think. it's all one room, anyway. check out the bathtubs waiting to be installed.



there's a cathedral ceiling and a skylight in the unit upstairs. (this is the back of the house.)



someday this will be a finished basement. i'm looking in thru a window/light well.



basement ceiling, which is not flush with the first floor floor.



the back end! that looks like a door on the second floor. i imagine they'll put up a back porch. also it looks like there's going to be a door on the first floor too, over to the right. maybe that's supposed to be the kitchen, i don't know.



you can see a little bit of the sloped ceiling in that one room on the second floor, and a bit of the cathedral ceiling in the other room. my guess is the floor plans of both units are more or less identical, in terms of the living room/dining room/kitchen space and where the bedrooms are.



another look at the ceiling in the second unit.


and then i took this picture yesterday:



so you can see the improvements to the front. two doors, more porch overhang.

unrelatedly, the weather is really gorgeous out right now. and i think i need to water the office plant.
