New Doors & Windows! (in progress)

Our particular Cliff May floorplan is one of the "Lanai" models, which means it had an open patio as the front room. This was closed off a long time ago. (Actually it was done in 1970, as I discovered a Dodgers schedule in the wall). While part of me would like to open it back up to it's original state, it's really more practical for us to keep it closed in, so it can serve as our den. So, the goal now is to follow the lines of the house as closely as we can, to do it how we estimate the architect would have. We had door and window panels fabricated to match the originals as closely as possible. It's not totaly done, but it's quite a dramatic improvement from the outside and the inside. We'll post again when this front room is finished off. It still needs everything on the interior. Good thing I've honed my drywall skills...

More Drywall & Paint (boring)

Here are a few shots of the guest room. They show holes punched in the wall where we ran new electrical. We ran 3/4" romex from the panel up into the soffit in this room. I'm told we can run up to 10 circuits through this line. So, now we'll be able to run electrical throughout the house as we need it (i.e. kitchen make over). Hopefully from here on out we can keep this punching holes in the wall thing to a minimum.







Again, Pay no attention to the beam or window panel colors... we just had to get some paint on the wall board so we can move on to more urgent things...
