Mission Impossible – Day 4

All Posts, Hallway, Kitchen, Master Bedroom

Yesterday was somewhat of a bust which meant we had to get all the more done today.  We had(have) a LOT to do.

First, we had to relocate this floor vent.  Just moved it over about a foot but it had to be done.

‘Course nothing is easy and we didn’t have quite enough slack to pull the flexible duct work over so I had to go to the basement and get up into the ceiling to move the duct work over a joist.

Done!

Next up?  Framing –which is one thing that can be knocked out seriously fast.

As many of you guessed, we relocated the master bedroom door and created a big pantry BEHIND the kitchen!

We finished framing the whole thing and even got a lot of drywall up today!

Day 4 remodel

We still have a lot of work to finish before Wes comes home tomorrow but Penny and I accomplished a stinkin’ lot today!

Speaking of Penny, having her work with us on this project has been super cool.  Like many clients I work with, she was excited to learn but timid about using the tools.  Each time I would introduce her to a new tool she would listen intently and watch me demonstrate.  Then I’d ask her if she wanted to give it a go and every time her answer was, “Ahhhhhhm”.   The inner stuggle:  “Yes I want to” / “But I’m scared”.  The “Yes I want to” has won out every time so far!

She is seriously rocking at this which is awesome on two levels: 1.  Her own empowerment!  2.  I can teach her how to do something and then turn it over to her to finish while I go do something else.  (Which is super helpful in making progress!)

Day 4 remodel

p.s.  Wes is scheduled to be home around 4pm tomorrow but there’s potential for some weather delays.  Never before in my life have I wanted delays.

And I want those delays so badly.

Lots and Lots of delays.

please.

    Love watching this project come together. I have a huge pantry and could not live without it. A question, does Wes not read your blog or Facebook while traveling?

    I would love to have rough sketch of a floor plan before and after! I’m still a little confused how this is all working. Looks fun and crazy ambitious for only a few days, though!
