Rehab Project Week #2

Well, week two was a bit more productive.  We got all of the demo work done, except for the second wall in the kitchen that we are removing to make more room for counter space and cabinet storage.

The sheetrock is up in the front half of the house and it is painted.  The flooring is down in the front half of the house as well; with the exception of the ceramic tile in the bathroom which we’ll wait on until we do the ceramic in the kitchen.

We went ahead last week and had a draftsman come out, draw out the current kitchen layout and then create plans for what we want to change.  These he created and had stamped by a structural engineer and now we have plans that we can take to the Parish for permits.  Now we don’t have to replace the wall, we can actually move it. 

So tomorrow is permit day, hopefully, and then we’ll be able to get the back half of the house finished.  With any luck we’ll have this one done in a couple of weeks. 

I’m going to attempt to  upload a couple of photos.  I will post more as we progress.
