My husband and I have made a decision to renovate our century old home. Last fall we removed a 7 X 7 “shed” that was just off our kitchen. It was falling apart. Well… that reno got way out of hand. We replaced it with an 11 X 20 room, including an 8’ foundation.
I pledged that the reno for the rest of the house, would be kept more on tract with respect to cost and simplicity. I need a new kitchen. I am sure at this point, any one who has ever done any reno’s is laughing.
On tract and kitchen, do not belong in the same sentence.
Let me give the Reader’s Digest version of what is happening.
The contractor is coming next week to remove 2 walls. Basically he is gutting my main floor from front door to back door. We have plaster walls. Every wall and ceiling on the main floor is being replaced with dry wall. Currently the entrance to every room in the house has a big, heavy, wooden door. Three entrances are being turned into lovely 4 foot wide archways. When it is all done, the entrance from my front room to the new kitchen will be like entering into the grand hall.
Did I mention that I also want a bathroom, with shower, added to the main floor? Or that two windows are being relocated?
