Subject: Re: 8-14-2019 by teebee on 2019/8/14 13:17:52 Bumpy night here...Thunderboomers from about the time we went to bed throughout the night and into the morning. But not a lot of rain. Today I'm working on the bathroom cabinets, then back over to #2s house to work on a closet expansion. The closet expansion was something that came up, somewhat unexpectedly. The house is something that has been added on to, multiple times over the years. The room in question was originally a front porch (unlike a Porsche  ). It was closed in at some point, then turned into a bedroom, moving the front door to another location. Then recently, like three weeks ago, the corner of the original porch was enclosed to the corner of the house, to square things up and they had the house stuccoed, but that little, new, enclosed area was inaccessible. The thought was, at some point in the future, that the closet adjacent to it, would be enlarged.Well, a little problem in that bedroom the other day, prompted me to say, "I think, now is the time to open up that area." #2 wasn't really ready, but agreed it was the logical time to do the modifications. GS#3 and #2s Step son helped me tear into the wall. Framed, concrete blocks, siding and all. I need to go over and true-up the blocks a bit before I frame up around that. Then SIL (electrician by trade) will need to do the electrical stuff before I hang rock, tape and finish. He has been out of town working 6 days a week, 12 hour days on a school remodel. They have to be done with that job, obviously, real soon, as school starts there next week. So he hasn't seen the changes in person. This place means a lot to him as it was originally his grandparents home (dating back to the late 40s), Then after his grandparents passed, his mom got the house, she passed about 10 years ago and now he owns it. Lots of memories from him. I got to get going guys....have a great day. |
