Wall framing….

Well the walls are starting to be framed out - well actually they are pretty well progressed with the framing.  We are starting to see where rooms and cupboards are going to be.

The contractor is still being very elusive as to when they are actually going to finish, which is now a little more critical as it looks as though the lady we are renting from has found a buyer - oops!!!

This is the front window all boarded up now as they have removed the glass and all the framing for restoration.  Makes this room look a little dark at the moment (and of course Jon is back in the shot again).

 This selection of photos gives an idea of how the millwork 2 storey bookcase is going to look.  This actual piece is not part of the bookcase but is the actual framing for the wall that the staircase will end up on.  Where you see the workman's table this will become the Den where we will have our TV etc….  This is then opening plan to the living space which is at the front and not being renovated.

 If you look closely you will see the shimming that they have had to do to level out the floor in what will be the Man Cave.  The slope from front to back and side to side is about 7.75 inches - just a little bit of a slope.  When asking the architects how much of a slope is acceptable, funnily enough they were not willing to provide an opinion.

 This room will be Jon's Man Cave - the window is going to be slightly smaller as the condenser is going to share the window space.  The wall that has sheet rock on it is the upstairs bathroom to be.

Video footage to follow….  Took some today but forgot to put the housing on - as a result it looks as though we are building a fish bowl rather than an apartment.

Also we are still working through the Galapagos photos and videos and will post as soon as we get round to it.
