The Living Room

 The Living Room "Before" pictures:

Pics 1and 2--Looking from the bedroom (tan walls) which adjoined the living room into the living room (blue walls).

 

  Pic 3--Looking at the entrance to the living room. You can see an old doorway which was sealed off and painted over.  This will be removed. (Yes, the tenants abandoned that big TV when they moved out. I will have to pay to get rid of it.)

Pic 4--In this picture, you can see an old heating vent and a boxed in chimney. In the "olden days" of this house, a wood furnace (Pot belly stove??) heated the house and the ceiling vent allowed the heat to rise into the bedroom above.  That ceiling vent will be removed.

Positive Progress

Pic 1--The old entryway is removed and insulation is added.

Pic 2 and 3-- the entrance to the living  room is widened and reinforced.

 

Pics 5 and 6--Drywall, lumber, and other supplies were brought inside due to more snow in the forecast. 

  

The old chimney, and doorway to the adjacent bedroom were framed in as preparation for drywalling.

Pic 7--Drywalled living room, walls and ceiling. Doorway into the bedroom is gone too. Good bye, plaster!

  

This has been the progress as far as March 3, 1921.
