More Progress

This is a view from the deck of the windows of the living room wall. Before, there were three big windows. Now, there are four smaller windows, each with a narrow horizontal window across the top. There are vertical steel beams between each window that extend to the basement.

 

On the left side you can see the back wall of the garage. Just to the right you see the corner of the living room and in that corner is where the old sliding door was  and where the new on will be. In front of the sliding door space the tall window with a slanted top will be replaced.

This is just a little further to the left, showing the rest of the garage wall. You can also see the door of the garage where you enter from the deck.

Inside the living room (still exposed to the elements) on the left side of the fireplace chimney you can see the vertical post and the horizontal beam, which will support the roof. 

 

The top right shows the beam extending across the top side of the kitchen and through to the top of the garage. In the center toward the bottom of the picture you can see the door from the kitchen to the garage. To the left is where the sliding doors will be.

Another view from the living room to the deck, showing the sliding door area and the tall slanted top window.

This picture shows the pipes for the washing machine in the garage all carefully wrapped by Barney Hedberg to protect from freezing in the winter. To the left, you can peek out at the front porch.

You can see more of Barney's wrapped pipes on the lower left of this picture. The white box on the right is for the water faucets for the washer. Below that are more pipes, which will be wrapped like the others. You can get a glimpse of the kitchen right between the joists.
