We had our full dumpsters hauled away this morning
(one regular and one masonry)
and another regular dumpster and masonry dumpster delivered.
and another regular dumpster and masonry dumpster delivered.
We filled the masonry dumpster half way this evening with more brick and chunks
of mortar and concrete, so we're pretty beat.
But seriously, it just feels wonderfully satisfying to crawl in bed
all worn out from a bit of rigorous work.
Here's a side-note of possible interest...
to date we have filled nine 30 cubic yard dumpsters to the brim and one
15 cubic yard masonry dumpster to the brim.
15 cubic yard masonry dumpster to the brim.
Counting the dumpsters delivered today we're up to twelve.
WOW!
We've just about dumpster-ed an entire house!
I'm still in a bit of a blog slump, but I figure it doesn't take much
to post the floor plans for y'all to see.
Please forgive me for my lack of effort.
Please forgive me for my lack of effort.
First, here is the original floor plan when we bought this place...
From left to right at the back of the house (top of the plan)
there was the largest bedroom, a smaller bedroom, the bathroom, and an informal dining room that, before a remodel over thirty years ago, used to be a third bedroom.
From left to right at the front of the house (lower part of the plan) was the living room, front entry, formal dining area and then the kitchen. Pretty simple and straight forward.
Here's our plan for the main level...

This is accurate with one exception, that being we may change the small 'atrium' next
to the front door. We're not sure about that yet. Also, the back door
of the garage needs to change position, but I'm too tired to explain why tonight.
Dean didn't draw a plan of the original basement, but it is the exact footprint of the
main level and was as follows...
From left to right at the back of the house there was an over-sized furnace/storage room
with two windows, a tiny bedroom with a tiny window, an over-sized bathroom
with a tiny window that was covered by the deck, another tiny bedroom also with one
tiny window that was covered by the deck. Golly it was dark and awful in those rooms
and to make matters worse, the walls were all covered in dark paneling.
Whoever finished out the basement created a funky little hallway by setting the bedrooms back from the load bearing wall that runs approximately down the center length of the basement. They did this to accommodate the duct work overhead for the furnace.
We won't have any duct work as we are installing radiant heating throughout.
From left to right at the front of the house in the basement there was a long, good sized 'family room' and then the Summer kitchen/laundry room.

So, there ya go.
We're headed to bed now.
I just know that when I look at this post sometime tomorrow I'll find all kinds of mistakes.
I'm okay with that.
I can always correct them later.
G'night, y'all.
