House Addition - Interior
Finally, we've got some new pictures for the Web! The Hayes Construction crew has not been at "the site" while we've been putting a vinyl floor in the basement and otherwise organizing stuff. They'll start back up on the final "to do" list thsi week, and we hope it won't be long 'til completion.
Kitchen. Maple cabinets with pulls we found, cork floor, green Silestone counter and "honed" (matte finish) granite counter for a higher pass-through, and a slate backsplash.
Kitchen & Dining room. (The sofa is in the dining room now; dining room table will replace it.)
Hallway & basement stairs.
CD shelving.
Family room from kitchen area.
Honed granite "pass-through" surface.
View from the hallway out into the new space (with CD shelving visible on the right).

A close-up of the bamboo flooring in the dining room.
Bath, redone.
Basement at foot of the new oak stairs. (We wanted something more contemporary for the stairs and railing, but we stuck with this for cost reasons.) New VCT (vinyl) flooring. The area shown is open to the upstairs, but is walled off from the rest of the basement.
Living room (with randomly scattered furniture) from the original house, with two new windows, and an in-progress fireplace redo (was brick). Granite mantle and wood trim strip to be added.
Back to main addition page, January 25.
Kitchen close to being finished (the granite high counter is covered with paper). Subfloor is showing; Wicanders cork flooring will be installed over it later.
"Verde Orion" (AKA "green") Silestone counter, and slate backsplash.
View from the dining room into our screened porch.
Cork flooring for kitchen is staked up and ready to be installed.
"Old" living room. Two windows are new. Brick fireplace being covered with slate and oak. (Not finished yet.)
Bath being redone with tiles and "Antique Glass" Avonite countertop.

Finally, I've taken some pictures! Bamboo floors (we're using the "horizontal grain" varieity) were finished today, but are covered up to protect them.
Dining room.
Office (the old refrigerator's temporary home), and stairs down to basement. (Railing to follow.)
Family room. Screened porch beyond walls on left side of image.
Office to the left, kitchen to the right. New fridge (black) is sitting in a temporary location; its future home is where the broom is. Pass-through counter surface is granite, but--like the floors--is covered for protection.

View from the dining room into the past and future kitchen. The plastic is protecting the existing living room from dust.
No substantial changes to the exterior, but many changes inside! Kitchen has been torn out; an old exterior wall (the one that was between the existing house and the addidtion) and one interior wall were taken out. A few more walls yet to go. The Hayes crew has been very careful: they laid masonite over the floors that need protection, put up plasitc sheets to separate the--now much reduced--living space from the destruction zone, and did lots of vacuuming and cleaning up following their "demo" work.
