Spring 2025: The Vision Starts to Grow
As spring arrived, things started to turn around. We reframed the new layouts, reinstalled the plumbing and electrical systems, and began soundproofing and insulating the house. I could start to see the vision coming to life. We had some family friends help us install all the soundproofing and spray-foam insulation. Those extra-long hours allowed the drywallers to come on schedule, and they were amazing. In just two weeks, they had finished the whole house. Next, we replaced every window in the home and got the AC and mini-splits set up for the summer months!
You can see more images of our progress, reframing, insulating, and soundproofing.
And more pictures of our work on the exterior, including:
Exposing and replacing old windows
Adding new siding and a new back door
Excavating the backyard
Our next steps were to tile the bathrooms and add brand-new doors to all the rooms. We built custom shelving into each of the new closets so they all had functional storage, and we added new crown molding to complete the look. Next, our flooring experts came in to install riftsawn red oak for the first and third floors. On the second floor of the house, we were able to salvage and refinish the original wood floors, preserving the only remaining original piece of the home.
