Its been a while since I've posted anything, so I figured I'd do a before, during and after photo collection. Before we made an offer on the cabin, I came up with the idea of removing at least a portion of the blue wall so we could open up the living room. That plan changed slightly as time went on and more of the wall came out than originally thought. (Jan 2017)
The original plan was to install a beam where we took out the blue wall. After talking with the neighbor, a structural engineer, we decided to change the eves into trusses from the underside and tare out the entire blue wall instead. Before that we had to strengthen the foundation and both outside walls to take the extra load. (June 2018)
After a very long summer of nothing but working on the cabin, the plumbing, electrical, gas lines, venting, fireplace, water heater and insulation were all finished. We hired out the drywall then went back and did the outlets & switches, cabinets counter tops, sinks and flooring We still have some finish work to do, but everything is now functional.
