Master bedroom.

House Remodel - May 15, 2012

May 15th. 7 days after the demolition started.

The window guys discovered a huge hole on the south side wall, so they had to patch it with particle board.

Siding is gone from the south side of the house.

New exterior wall is constructed.

This will look so nice when it has Board and Batten on it.

That is our master bathroom window.

 The French doors were removed and that space was framed over.

 The beams were installed and the living room/kitchen is an open space.
