2214 Randolph- Progress

Things are cruising along nicely at our project at 2214 Randolph St. The majority of the framing is finished, the roof is done and the HVAC rough-ins are in. The plumber and electrician are at the house this week, and the following week we'll insulate and get the drywall up.

We raised the roof in the rear in order to make space for a master bedroom in the loft area upstairs. It came out really great, and the ceiling height is well over 9 ft. We were able to make space for another full bathroom upstairs. The other window and white siding is going in this week.

You can see the new roof framing by comparing it to the house next door. This weekend, the crew was there putting all the trash in a dumpster and building a huge rear deck. We're then going to make the old kitchen door (on the right side) a window to accomidate the extra kitchen cabinets, and make the dining room window (on the left) into a french door to access the deck.

The old roof was torn off and a new one installed. We replaced all of the gutters and downspouts, as well. The main roof is finished but the porch roof still needs to be done this week.

Here's the new steps to access the loft bedroom upstairs. It's in the location of the old bathroom.



This is how we decided to pull down the old iron steps. We used a Sawzall to slice the supports, and then the truck to pull it off the house.
