IT'S ALIVE!
This is the major renovation project going on right now. Future Card Room & Eat-in-Kitchen. Busy, busy, busy...very little time to blog about it, but I will post some photos to display what has been going on.
To sum it up, we're rebuilding the portion of the wall that was damaged by the carpenter ants, installing new insulation in that portion of the wall and ceiling. Then we will be installing new drywall segments to refinish the water damaged wall.
The window casing has been mostly removed, saving the left side & as soon as the new drywall is in place and skim coated, Liam will begin building the new window frame.
My job is to cover all the cosmetics. I am stripping the large double window. It was caked with many layers of paint, and in taking it off, it will become a stunning wall of beautiful woodframe windows. This project alone will take me about three weeks to complete.
In the meantime I will be repairing all the joint seams, and carefully spackling all of the drywall.
I am also reviving a walk in storage closet as our future walk-in pantry. Liam will be building new shelving.
That's all going on right now.

Liam's beautiful carpentry patch for the damaged wall.
super handsome carpenter at work.
lumberjack lamb!
getting started here.
handy laddercat.
future somewhat walk-in-able pantry.
major split wall joint about to be magically repaired.
There's really a more impressive before & after than the one you're about to see. Before this, I chiseled and knocked-out and sanded gobs and slops of caulk from a crazy lazy previous repair.
& now for the drywall tape miracle.

HEALED!
