6/11/14 Update in Pictures

Just wanted to show you that while I am waiting for the architect to do the modified changes to the addition, they have decided to do the demolition on the interior while we wait. It was an incredible surprise since I was only expecting it to be done for the addition. So I wanted to show you a few pictures from when I first bought the house to where things are now on the remodel. I can no longer show the outside in its entirety, but I will definitely show work in progress in bits and pieces.

This will be the main bedroom upstairs that will be opened. We are hoping that from here with the addition that we will be able to provide for about eight women.

ORIGINAL: Part of the upstairs that is now going to be a part of the new addition. This is all going to be opened up. Yes, those are bars on the window.

CURRENT: All of the rooms upstairs are going to be made into an open room concept where we are going to hopefully design individual spaces for soon-to-be-survivors.

We are also hoping that in the upstairs, we are able to make room for children to be able to stay with their mothers. So as we open things up, we are trying to figure out how we incorporate children if necessary while maintaining room for the women.

ORIGINAL: This is part of the hallway between the two rooms upstairs. You can see a little bit of the pitch of the room which currently doesn’t allow us much room. That is about to change. The walls are going to be raised so wall height allows us to provide for adult bunk beds.

CURRENT: This is standing in the hallway where you can see a little bit of what has been removed along with the main sleeping area.

The main floor demolition is complete except for the kitchen and bathroom. Next they are going to begin with the basement that is going to be a whole activities area. We will have a small reading corner, treadmill or some type of equipment. Kids corner, comfy seating, etc along with a full bathroom downstairs as well.
