Walls and Floors

WALLS

We're framing walls.  Downstairs in the back room will be the bathroom and laundry.  Installing these necessary modern rooms into old houses can often seem awkward and "added-on".  We want these rooms to feel as natural as possible to the house. A window in each of these spaces helps with that "always been there" feeling.
Bathroom walls framed below.

FLOORS

We've pulled up the entire floor in the upstairs front.  The sub floor is in very good shape, but in need of some additional support.  See pictures below. New joists are sistered with the existing joists, and we'll add more in between for a rock solid second floor.  You can see the wood of the first floor ceilings.  All in great condition.
