We slowed down a bit with end of school year activities. And speaking of that - isn't it just crazy?!?!? They don't mention that in the "You want to have 5 kids" handbook they gave us. Every single day it is one activity or concert after another. Anyways, the main gutting is done and I am on schedule today to reframe the doorways (for crawl space entry and the main door). Here are some shots (mainly for those of you who are familiar).
Looking into the room - old crawl space entry at right.
Looking out the doorway to the hall. New door will be 36"'s and will have to be reset about 6"s to fit.
This is where the old closet was.
This is looking in from the hallway into the room.If you click on that last picture and see the color of the hall on the left, and the wallpaper style on the right; it will be self-explanatory on why we are gutting this house room by room. Not that I blame the in-laws, because if you see the condition of the plaster under it I think stripping off the 100 years of paper and paint on the walls would have caused them to fall down anyways.

Watch the criticisms - the next to tackle was the wallpaper. The wall color is much better than the picture.
Lots of fun. We're doing renos, too.

You are doing a whole floor at once - awesome. She who must be obeyed only allows me to do a room at a time.
