The brick closest to you is on the existing garage, where the wood siding turns vertical is the kitchen addition start and the chimney for the ne fireplace. Took pic to show you that the painting is complete (outside is done / except for water treating the new deck).Pile of trash is cabinets and carpet that we removed yesterday.... Johnathan you're a good man!!
View of the front of the house. All trim and garage doors painted the same color, the heavey dark brown has left the building being replaced by a lighter colr that blends well with the existing brickwork. Hard to see here but we went with the green shutters which look great!!
This pic illustrates an old kitchen minus its cabinets except for the sink (which we are going to try and hold on to for awhile longer) and the frig. Everything was boxed and placed downstairs in the den. It is amazing how much STUFF you accumulate, we had three good size bags of canned food that was out of date. We called our middle daughter and asked her if it would still be okay to which she said we could eat it if we wanted to risk botulism (not sure if I spelled this correct). Anyway, we got rid of it
Another snap of a cabinetless old kitchen. This area will become a half bath at the far end and a laundry in the front with the washing machine and dryer behind louvered doors (stay tuned to future posts t0 this blog to see how that turns out).
Looking from the old kitchen through the new openning into the new kitchen.
We took some time yesterday to go to the 'PLANT SHOW' (an annual event in Columbia, SC at the farmers market where everyone comes and sells garden and yard items, plants, shrubs, trees, etc.) and planted an herb garden on the deck. This pot is approx. 15" in diameter.

Here is where the large window used to be that divided the old dining room from the new kitchen. This is now also removed and needs some framing and electrical work done before the drywall folks arrive.
