On Monday Arden and Alex worked on removing all of the old windows, and cutting out some of the brickwork around the window openings. They also ripped out all of the old ductwork in the living room, and got rid of most of the carpet. Sunny came and watched the kids and chauffeured them to swimming lessons while I was at work (Melinda and Saffy went to California to visit Amy along with Scott, Kevin, and her mom.) Sigh. I miss them.
It’s amazing to be able to go down into the basement without having to immediately duck the duct!
Here is a before and after shot of Carrie’s old room, Connie’s old room, and the “sprout room". Notice the 60’s green and black check linoleum floor
Last night and tonight Miles and Ian helped me tear down the walls in this room and haul the debris out to the pile.
Tonight Arden worked on getting the foundation ready to have the new windows cut out. There’s a nice new breezy hole at the bottom of the foundation. The spaghetti in the ceiling is mostly phone lines in this picture, but there are some truly atrocious wiring going on elsewhere.
The rubbish heap just keeps on growing and growing!

Wow! this looks awesome. (not the, totally cool awesome, but the oh wow there is so much to be done awesome.) I suspect, that while the work and redo is plentiful the end product will be awesome, (the totally cool and thank goodness we did it type of awesome.) good luck, looking good.
