House Renovation 6 - garage and framing progress

Rain lately and cooler temps mean my solatube skylight hasn't been as hot, I've developed a mushroom farm from the old Stramat "insulation". Cool!


The cement block wall between the garage and entryway has now been removed, space is beginning to feel much more open. Open is important in my view when dealing with small spaces like this house.

Way more headroom for stairs now! (that pipe won't be there long).

The big old front windows have been removed. That wall will now have two floor to ceiling windows, essentially extending these ones by about 1' higher and 1' lower, as well as a door leading out to the future front patio.

The funny half height rear window will go to a normal sized rear window in the back. The one by the garage roof will stay the same, it's opaque anyway and offers no view, just ambient light. Rather pointless... but whatever.

Windows and doors being set up for the new version.

Front windows out.

New garage room window framed (1 of 2, other will be on angled side).


Garage roof materials.

Garage foundation now poured.
