Between the kitchen and dining area leading into the living room and wall of windows facing the lake-are these two brick walls. I didn't like these but Hubs really does not like these and wants them taken out.
This is the one on the right
and this is the one on the left we started taking apart
Originally Hubs just wanted to take this one out, so more room in the kitchen. The mystery was-did they place this on top of both floors or just set the tile and wood around it. I had fingers crossed. I didn't take another photo when we removed all of this-will do that next time.
The tile was set around this but the wood is still there-I need to see how it will clean up.
This was filled with large and small rocks-with shells on top with a glass cover. When we got into it-ugh-this was all saturated with kitty urine. So the second one of these will definately come out. We found a couple tiles in the basement but not enough, so will see if I can find something close-or perhaps change this to a row of feature tiles.
Hubs also was anxious to sledge hammer out some of the concrete walkway which is in the front of the house. and they have decided this is the water problem in the basement-No where for the water to drain away from the house. So he did a corner of that project too-
I also grabbed lots of bags of fibers for spinning, plus my box of ornaments and little Christmas tree-but didn't get them set up in the closet of my new craft room.
and this is not even all of it lol
This is new for us-steps into the house from the driveway
Hubs down there in the corner of the house-sledge hammering concrete I am the shadow with the camera
Loving this view we have-so awesome, it makes me smile
This is part of what was in the suburban
We felt good getting something accomplished. We will be back on Thursday to get the internet set up and work on the other demo
Ugh, extra work, but how beautiful it will be when you get it the way you want.Such a cute house, and the house is so cute.
ReplyDeleteit is really cute
DeleteOMGosh. You and your Hubs know how to create messes and do demo work. I agree the walls with kitty urine MUST go. Glad you are making some progress on the place, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat were those brick walls for? They don't look very high. Or maybe it is the angle of the photos. Looks like y'all are jumping right into to getting things to your liking around there. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteWow! There's always more to do after a move than we think lol but y'all are getting right at it. How nice that you've discovered the basement moisture problem and can work towards solving that yourselves. That view! I'm going to love seeing your photos of that view through the seasons :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like you are always taking on home improvement projects and they have moved to the new house with you. :) Are the steps the only way from the driveway to the house... that would be a pain for me?
ReplyDeleteOh my you are starting work so quickly on your new home and making progress, you must have so many ideas and things to do. Exciting times.
ReplyDeleteThe view you have looks awesome.
