Rough Layout

This is the main living section of the house. It will have the kitchen, pantry, and master bedroom/bathroom. In front of this section will be a great room with the family and dinning room.
These pictures are taken from the family room looking into the kitchen.

The rectangle on the left will be the pantry.

This back section will be our master bathroom. The lines on the
left show where our closets will be with the toilet in between.

This is the second section that will contain the laundry room, bathroom, guest bedroom, and living room/office area.

Tearing Down the Walls

The whole world is suffering with the effects of COVID 19 but because they have done away with elective surgeries at the hospital, Aaron hasn't been working much the last few weeks. He had lots of vacation time saved up so this gave him extra time to work on the house. We have really been blessed.

 Since we put two boxes together, we needed to take out the walls between them. Aaron used a plasma torch, disk grinder, and a sawzall to do it. He came home every night covered in metal shavings and got a few burns on his arms from the sparks that would fly as he cut. Once he was done taking out the walls, he had to grind down about 1/2 inch of residual wall so that we can lay tile or carpet on the floors.

Insulation Prep

We are in the process of attaching framing to the walls. This was done so that we would have a way of attaching the insulation to the walls. We did this on the outside walls only because we will be taking out the metal pieces between each box to open up the space.








Peek-a-boo, I see you!! Aaron was on the outside getting ready to attach the framing. I was looking through the corner where the two sections meet.
