| Project started in the living room, with just removing the carpet. | ||
| Then the paneling.... then the lath and plaster. The dining room door has grown taller | ||
|
|
|
| Home brew bedroom door hardware | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Dining room window had an AC unit in it that rotted the window frame | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Clean the old frame out and take a look.... hmmm.... new window is a bit big | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Cut the siding back and reframe the window | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Time for a trial fit..... looks pretty good |  |
 |
||
| Need something to put around the edges for trim | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Trim wraps around the window frame. A bead of caulk will seal the window in the hole. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| This is a closed-in porch that was a real disaster area. Taking out the carpet and paneling, and a window. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Then there is the back porch slash laundry room. Kathy wants to do this one herself !! | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Couple of places where old windows were taken out |  |
 |
||
| Solution #1 |  |
 |
||
| Solution #2 |  |
 |
||
| I sprayed stain on this door, and it was wayyy too much. Sanding it off. | ||
| Got some expert help picking the stain this time around | ||
 |
 |
 |
| The neighbor's yard | ||
| If you look verrrry carefully, you can see Kathy's Expedition parked in the street | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Wrecking out the paneling, lath and plaster out of the master bedroom | ||
| And of course, the plaster in the adjoining room couldn't be saved | ||
 |
 |
 |
| The dryer has been moved to an interior wall, and a closet added opening off the master bedroom | ||
| Good place to hide a dryer vent | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Two new closets and one closet make-over | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Master BR is done |  |
 |
||
| Check out this new window. What a difference !! |  |
 |
||
| And lastly, Kathy's shaker kitchen cabinet doors |  |
