Two more from the living room

A before and after? Maybe I should call it before and during...

Friday I came home to this big hole in the back of the house! This is where our sliding door was.

And this morning: doors installed, plastic covering the area that once was door and now will be wall.

The home reno process continues!

Well, folks, we are at it again!

Welcome to Remodel Phase 2

The slider is gone and a new door frame is in place. J removes wood paneling from walls

Our new door will be 1.5' narrower so that we have more room for our tv (which will go back where it was)

The un-drywalled patch has been there (left) since we closed in the door to what is now the closet and master bathroom. That wall also has nasty wood paneling which...must also come down!

Panes of glass are in

J forms an electrical system for the wires that will lead to our tv (which will be mounted on the wall) and new surround sound bar.

Doors are in

Wood paneling off!

This clever system of gangboxes and black tubing will enable the wires to run behind the tv and receiver in an organized manner

Another clever "j" solution: He makes tent-like zippered doors from zisqueen to keep dust and debris out of non-construction-zone ares. It really keeps the mess contained. If there is interest I can explain how they are made. In other news, how do you spell visquene? visqueen?
