Master Bath
Bath2
An earlier view(bottom of blog) shows the same room with the walls removed - this location had a beam installed above to support the expanded kitchen space.
Front entry: this door was just barely fit into this space - a previous door was not nearly as elegant.
Guest Bath: greatly improved space featuring tumbled stone shower floor and walls. The glass door is plate glass hinged to the wall with no visible frame.
The kitchen was most improved in this house - the previous kitchen layout was not nearly as spacious or as functional. Lighting is current with 2007 codes to have 50% florescent lighting in the kitchen. The bulbs used were the warmest light fluorescents on the market.

This project involved remodeling a 2 story house and adding space onto the dining room to enlarge the kitchen. Much of the house was in disrepair, including water damage, termite damage, urine staining/soaked subfloor 2nd floor; and plumbing leaks.

The project started planning in June 06 and submitted permit in Aug. 06. To get a head start, we started demo and jobsite cleanup ahead of time filling 2 dumpsters prior to digging trenches.
Addition to dining room - enlarge.
The job included:
Remodel family room for entertainment, new lighting.
Some of the challenges included a) moving the bearing wall inside to make the kitchen larger; this involved an additional concrete footing, a beam; and moving drain lines, b) saving as much plaster walls and ceiling as possible; c) securing the residence at night; d) saving as much of the stucco as possible.
All electrical conduits and flexible conduits were removed. New wire was placed to connect up about 50 recessed lights; the same number of plugs; 4 220V circuits; and undercabinet lighting.
