Upstairs Unfinished Attic Update

After we bought the house in 2011, we climbed up through the small square opening in the kitchen ceiling into an unfinished attic space.

Below, almost immediately, we cut a small opening in the upstairs front wall so we could access the attic.

2014, a doorway was framed.

We could now walk into this back room for the first time!

The floor boards were pulled up, and extra joists and inserts added for additional structural support.

Framing walls for rooms.

Duct work, insulating new walls and pine boards to finish the walls.

Heating/Cooling unit, and a new mechanical room.

Bathroom.

Hallway to the third bedroom. Bathroom door is to the right, and the mechanical room door is also to the right, in the front, just out of view.

Looking back down the hallway to the original front part of the house.

Here are a few pictures to show our progress on framing the "unfinished" space, upstairs.

Walls, Floors, and More

We continue to frame walls, lay floors, rough plumbing, duct work, and electrical.

Months ago, we framed out the doorway to the upstairs back space.

Which gave us access to the back unfinished area.

The floor was reinforced with sistered joists and blocked inserts.

The doorway was closed in beautifully with the wood cut from the wall.

And now, an antique heart pine floor is going down, and you can see the roughed in plumbing for the second floor bathroom.

I have no words that can add to this.
