Photos for Heather

Following are photos of the Butler's Pantry.  I believe all of the cabinets were ripped out last week, but wanted to give you a sense of how it was set up previously. There is not a door to the kitchen, but there is a swinging door to the dining room that swings both ways.  I'd prefer to have cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling to take advantage of the extra tall space. Thanks!!

This is standing in the pantry and looking out toward the kitchen.  The yellow wall will be coming out and the Family Room will be behind it.  You can just make out the railing for the staircase going down on the right of the photo.

Top Cabinets along the wall that abuts the kitchen.  You can see the pass through to the kitchen under the cabinets.  This can stay or go.  I don't feel strongly about keeping it.

Lower cabinets along the wall that abuts the kitchen.


Window and sink on the right wall (exterior wall) of pantry.  I'm pretty sure the plumber added new plumbing for a sink, but I don't feel strongly about having one.  I might prefer the counter space and storage space underneath instead.

The sink on the back wall and the cabinets on the wall that abut the dining room.

Upper Cabinets on the wall that abuts the dining room

Upper cabinets again

Standing in the pantry and looking through to the dining room


The oddly sized wall opposite the window.  This would be the only wall where I want glass doors.


This was a photo from the listing sheet before we started tearing things up.  Note the radiator that is under the sink has been removed.

And we have walls!





All of that Blue Board that was on the flatbed has begun to be affixed to the walls and ceilings.  


The hallway in the kids wing.  Isabelle's door is on the left and Cameron's is at the end of the hall.

Insulation and Walls!

 The insulation is complete and has passed inspection!


The Ceiling of the First Floor Back Porch


The first floor back porch (the new windows haven't been installed in this room yet).



The Third Floor is insulated! (And Clementine is checking it out).



Cameron's room (above photo and below photo)









While the insulators and plaster guys are working inside, Maurice and Jose are working on the outside.


Most of the old yellow clapboard has been replaced with new siding. Notice Maurice in a lift in the top left corner.





He has saws and a work station set up on the porch roof!



Supplies being lifted up to the second floor.


A flatbed loaded with blue board and plaster

Workers taking the board to the kids' wing. Walls start going up tomorrow!
