Apt B

This is the view into the mudroom from the kitchen. This is where Jim took down the wall. I posted about it before but I thought I'd give you another view from a different angle.
Above is the view from our converted porch through the kitchen and into the mudroom.
Jim took our old door and put it at the bottom of the stairs along with some vapor barrier to help seal off the upstairs. It really helps keep the downstairs warmer and to keep out some of the dust and noise when work is going on upstairs. We've started to call it "apartment B" because it's so weird to have this exterior door sitting in the middle of our house...

House Update

I've been wanting to post some pictures of the progress of the addition but everytime I go to take some pictures of the framing that Jim has been doing I realize that it doesn't translate to photographs at all. It just looks like a bunch of studs. I don't think that I'll be able to post anything until the walls go up. The plumbers have started. They have to start from the basement and move their way up which means our old half bathroom is ripped up so they can run the pipes up the wall as seen above.
This is what it used to look like:
Hopefully it will look like that again someday...
