Not so much "visible" progress this week in some ways, but you've just gotta keep a keen eye open for the smaller things that still take plenty of effort.
Entry way concrete wall separating garage from house now gone, support beam in place. Entrance now feels much more open relatively speaking for a modest house size overall.
View from corner of future workout room (garage) back towards rest of house.
This space is hinting at how it will come together. This wall divided a bathroom from the workout room and entryway.
A detail, but none the less, all the doors in the house will be 4" or whatever it is taller to help combat the "small tight spaces" feeling of the 1950's norm.
Note in all the pictures the exterior walls are now "expanded" to equivalent 2x6" depth to accommodate more insulation.
The steel pipe here is now gone. From move in day when we bought the house to today, we've gained almost a foot of headroom on these stairs. 80% of that is from this renovation, I got a few inches improvement back in the day. A little thing, but something noticeable every single time the stairs are walked.
Garage foundation insulated from exterior and now backfilled too. It will be insulated from the interior as well, but this should help, considering we're going to keep the garage heated (non freezing anyway). Note the soil on the lower part is excess and will be removed, but the upper level "workshop" space is easier to visualize now.
