We have finished the concrete and have started framing out the interior walls for the master bedroom, master bath and kitchen walls. The original interior walls were framed in 2" x 6" material to allow for plumbing and venting to run in the walls. We decided to repeat that for the new framing between the kitchen and adjoining rooms to allow for a little more insulation, as well as allowing us to install an in-wall toilet for the guest bath. Green Tip ! This particular toilet will be a dual flush design in order to help with water conservation. Not a new concept, but we try and encourage our clients to try using dual flush technology, or at least adapt to the newer 1.28 gpf toilets that are now starting to appear on the consumer market.
The 2nd picture is looking from the new master bedroom through the new master bath toward the living room. The next in line is looking down the hall from the master to the living room. Eventually there will be a line of closets on the right, and a pocketed door entrance to the bath on the left.
This next shot is looking from the backyard toward the new addition where the kitchen entry door will be. Notice our nice patio......sand. Did I say there was alot of sand on our property? Fortunately the feral cats love it...its like living in one giant litter box. Anyone have a dog we can borrow? I know...TMI.
There I am staring at the new kitchen walls, ( when did I get so gray? )our new and very expensive steel beam on the right holding things up, and a blank space where our A/C ducting should be ( will be installed again later ) right above the opening to the kitchen. If you look back at the original pictures of the kitchen, you'll notice that the new kitchen is wider and now goes through to the garage directly. The soffit for the ducting will be rebuilt and will not intrude into the kitchen quite as much as the old one did.
