You Shall Not Pass

Hall Trolls

29.375 Cubic Feet Larger

Because my father can never come up and just sit down, we dug into that hallway again and this time made some visible improvements. Since these angled walls have proven less than cooperative when it comes to maximizing our space, we have decided to takes matters into our own hands and create space where there wasn't space before.

Behold! Our new built-in.

It's not much, but not much is what we were looking for. Still took all damn day. All the real work is hidden, but maybe I can tell you about it someday.

Broke On Through

Just another Sunday morning, right?

Nope.

Today we being the transformation.

Step #1: Tear out the chimney and cut holes in our bedroom closet and into the roof of the A-frame (don't ask, our house is strange). 

Step #2: Lots of demolition and tearing down of insulation, shingles, sheetrock, and countless 2x4's that littered the insides of this slapped together shack of ours, each with its very own collection of bent and busted nails sticking out every which way imaginable. And cleaning up a ton of garbage that at one point was up to our knees. 

Step #3: Frame out the walls that will become our new hallway. 

Side note: Up until yesterday, our house did not have a proper hallway, anywhere. 

Step #4: Partially build what will become a bedroom wall extension and the inside of our new closet.

Step #5: Surprise Laura.
