The entryway room has slowed down the progress on the additions by at least two days. Maybe more. But the new addition floor joists can't be installed until there is something to actually connect to.
Here are some photos of the repair and rebuild work on the entryway. The front wall is now made of 2x6's. This will hopefully allow the electric meter to be moved more easily and keep the service panel in it's existing location. The entire subfloor was replaced and even some floor joists were added and repaired.
The old master bathroom window was pulled out and the new one was installed. The new window required new framing, but the wood in the wall wasn't in good shape so new framing was necessary regardless.
The existing house that had the siding pulled off due to rot got new windows and house wrap installed (those rooms are the 2nd bedroom, master bathroom, and master bedroom).
We no longer have a front door, but one has been ordered. Here's a picture of the old door.
The floor joist inspection in on Monday morning. Then the wall framing begins.
whew! wow! jeesh!
