We are in the midst of redoing my daughter's cottage. She wanted to buy a new place but after looking and looking, we decided to redo the place she owns now to make it more livable. The painters painted the trim and we are waiting for siding to arrive.
A new balcony has been added to the back along with new windows and doors.
The brick has been re-laid and new steps were poured. The entire patio has to be redone.
I am still shaking my head over some of the things we found when we tore this place apart. Rotten wood, live wires, dirt instead of cement foundation...unreal!
And who knew that dry wall is now purple? What happened to white? This is the tiny laundry area.
The bathroom will be completely redone too. Typical workers left the toilet seat up!
We've moved stuff around to gain every inch of space we can. This area will have a barn door hung to save space.
We ended up ripping out the entire staircase and closet beneath it. Rotten wood and bad old carpentry contributed to this decision.
The kitchen is very small so we removed the ceiling and will go with exposed joists to add height. It's getting a total redo and should be great when it is done.
A plus was that we found this old brick, re-pointed it and it will add to the ambiance of the finished kitchen. We are building shelves between the columns.
I'll update this project as more is accomplished.

Oh, by the way, the drywall is purple so you know it's moisture and mold proofed. Builders use that kind more nowadays because it's better.
