It took over
two years and more money than either of us wants to consider, but WOW!
From a dark, dank, shed type "garage" to a shiny new, bright
studio. I'm so happy!!! Of course, now I'm all moved in it isn't nearly
so neat and tidy. Well, I'm working!
Amazing! Can you believe
this!!?
Beautiful job. Just beautiful!
Even
Sammy is amazed.
Great trim work. Too bad
the pic is so dark.
What a transformation.
I
just can't get over the flooring. Think I can get him to do the
kitchen now?
As it
turns out, I did take a few pics of this before Joe started working.
This was basically an oversized, attached garage that was built like
a shed. Three walls on a concrete footer and a dirt floor. Ugh. It made
for great storage when we first moved in, though. The door and sidelights
replaced the garage door, concrete covered the dirt, and a lot of elbow
work by Joe took it this far. BTW, this has been under way for two years
now. I have proof. See the date in the corner of the second picture?
October 4, 1998!
The
concrete has been poured and the garage door taken down. Not much
to look at.
Joey,
so proud of his work so far. It's not really night, just the black
plastic from the concrete job.
"Where
did I put that hammer?"
"Let's
see, I don't think I left it up there." Windows
go to the interior of the house and will end up as clerestory
windows in the exterior wall.
"And
it doesn't appear to be in here. Hmm. I wonder if I left it in
the garage?"
The
back wall and if you think this is dark, you should have
seen it before we poured the concrete for the floor!
