Just Beaming


As the renovation progresses, we are happy to deliver this photo of the joining of two rooms after the successful removal of the wall dividing the living room from the kitchen. It feels a lot like a reverse siamese twin operation; we have taken two perfectly good adjoining room and conjoined them. The open space, lighted with sun pouring in the west windows, is a true pleasure.
To detail just a bit of what you are seeing in the photo... The kitchen is on the right, living room on the left. In the upper left is the new support beam which now spans 23ft allowing for removal of the weight bearing wall that previously divided the two rooms. In the background, the black post is the support for the beam at one end, and will eventually be hidden by drywall. To the right of the man on the ladder is framing for a pocket door, which will allow privacy for the master bedroom, bath, and nursery. In the foreground is the rough framing for the island.
It's exciting seeing the new look taking shape.
