Framing update

March 15, 2019 By Brian Cody 1 Comment

Over the last couple of weeks since the initial framing went up, the framing has really matured. You can now walk inside the pantry and get a sense of how big it will be (great size), the master closet (feels like a friggin’ bedroom), and the sitting room inside the master bedroom (bigger than we were expecting).

Here’s a video of the 2nd floor master closet, then master bath (shower, then toilet room).

What about the basement, you ask? We’re waiting on the new plumbing inspection from the city before the new basement concrete floor can be poured (which then leads to framing the basement, which leads to framing inspection, which leads to electrical/plumbing roughin, etc.).

In the meantime, we’re getting windows delivered and bathroom fixtures ordered – more on that soon!

So… we’re renovating a house!

So, we did this thing. A probably foolish, definitely exciting, mildly nauseating, mostly stressful thing. We bought the definition of a fixer-upper in a beautiful tree-lined street in Chicago, in a neighborhood we’ve loved for a while. And we’re going to share our journey with family, friends, and casual acquaintances the world! Let’s get into […]
