These are our before photos of the upstairs. We're in the middle of a remodel, but I wanted to post these first. We began demo the second week of June, maybe June 10. So it's been a little over a month and the framing and the plumbing are about 90% complete. The plumbing required us to remove some panels downstairs (behind the bathroom sink, in a bedroom closet, etc) to get to the old pipes. We used mostly PEX, and a little copper for the new shower. The tub is already waiting upstairs.
We added a few roof vents and drilled 100 new bird block holes for better ventilation. We hope rigid board insulation against the roof will help block out heat and a better R rating on the half walls should also help.
The electrician is scheduled to do his thing either the last week in July or first weekend in August. We're very excited!
Then insulation guys will come in. We could do it ourselves, but by the time you pay for it, it comes out just a bit more for labor. Hanging drywall may fall on our shoulders. Our quotes are about $1500 more than we want to spend. Plus, we have a guy that'll do mud and tape for pretty cheap.
Take a good look at these before shots because the next photos you see will be during framing.... big changes!
