Latest update...

As you can tell, blog posting energy has been limited lately.  Work took our brains and... condo progress has not been as visible in the last few weeks.  There's not as many photos to share, but work is continuing.  Electrical rough-in is complete and Plumbing rough-in will be complete next week.  Last week the Sprinkler Head moves were done.  And patching and grinding the concrete ceilings, columns, and floors in prep for staining is underway.  The spa tub was delivered last week and is now in place.  Here are photos that show that progression from the start.

Doors galore...

This is the wine room door from ETOdoors...

And here's an example of the pocket wall for the master from Raydoor...



Framing is complete...

With the exception of a few details, framing is complete for the new walls.  We added photos on Flickr and they are grouped by vantage point and we have attempted to order them as if you are moving through the space.  Here's a video tour to help put it perspective.
Here's the view from our balcony a few days ago when we got home to check progress.

Two become One...

The entry is reconfigured so that there's one door where there was two.  Now it feels like one unit when you walk through the door.  And framing is going up for some of the walls so it's starting to take shape.

Implosion over the weekend...



Framing the new walls started last week and we'll be posting more photos and video footage soon.  In the meantime, take a look at the view we had of the implosion over the weekend.  Several old First Baptist Church buildings were imploded on 10/30/10.   Below are links to videos and more information.
