They rebuilt the back wall of the kitchen, which now separates the kitchen and new bathroom:
The majority of our kitchen cabinets will eventually go along this wall.
The fridge will move to the left a smidge, so it won't be quite as close to the opening to the new mudroom. I love the light that filters in to the kitchen from the new patio doors. Ignore our dryer over there on the right, which is currently waiting in this doorway until it gets hooked up in the new bathroom. (Isn't that where all dryers belong, in the kitchen, inconveniently blocking pathways?? Thought so.)
The rest of the interior framing was done as well, which has been great since we've been able to actually see how the new rooms are divided.
Here is a view from the new mudroom, looking into the bathroom:
Our new, super-wide shower was installed as well. Here you can see the shower in place on the left, and the new mudroom straight ahead:
The vanity we picked out for the bathroom is in that box there.
In the living room addition, the fireplace was framed out between the windows in the back of the house:
The wall between the existing living room and new space hasn't come down yet. That should be down in the next week or so.
Now that all of the electrical and plumbing is completely finished, our contractor plans on insulating and starting to hang drywall next week. We'll also have the old window in the kitchen replaced with a brand new one. It's been getting really cold and drafty downstairs at night, so I can't wait for the addition to be insulated!
I never thought I'd see the day, but we actually have to start picking out paint colors soon. It feels like we're never going to be finished with this construction, so the thought of actually nearing some kind of end is tought to fathom. Hopefully by Christmas I'll be able to hang stockings over my new fireplace!!
