House Renovation Projects



We are in the middle of a messy house renovation project--well actually 2 projects. It started as a master bathroom renovation and then we decided we might as well take the sitting room (which had been my office) and move it downstairs. Then we will open up the two rooms to make a nice spacious bedroom.


So, the top photo is the garden level (we don't like to call it basement) rec room which has always been a little cool in winter. So, I decided if I'm going to move my office down there, I would need a fireplace to kick off a little heat.


Thanks to Woodburners II, we have that accomplished. It's toasty warm down here now. Then I decided we would want a nice big TV above that. So, thanks to Belmont TV, we've got that done also.


Next is the built-in bookcases project down there. We had them custom made and they have been delivered. Maybe by tomorrow they will be installed. Then I can move my office into the section that will be my new working space.


The second photo shows my current working space on the garden level. All my equipment is on top of the big farm table until it can go ito the new built-in desk area. Such a mess. There is no room to put all the stuff that has to be removed to do the projects.


Today I had to empty those big white bookcases, so that the new built-ins can be installed tomorrow. I have lots of books going to charity tomorrow. I love books, but I have way too many. I even got Bob to give up his college engineering books! I'm thrilled to have a Kindle--it's the way to read! No clutter. Mind you, I'm also keeping quite a few books.
