Remodeling

A short entry, for those following the deconstruction and reconstruction of our new home on the island. During the week my son and I traveled south, we stopped by and checked on the progress of the remodeling of our recently purchased home. Gone is the popcorn ceiling, and the white tile floor. The popcorn is now history, and the tradesman who did the skip troweled ceiling did a fantastic job. Removing that popcorn erased one more sign of the original 1988 construction.

Now starting to arrive is the wood flooring, and after that the new tile in the bathrooms and laundry. On the day I left (August 27th) the wood flooring had been installed in the master bedroom, where some living room furniture was already delivered and stored. The fireplace had been stripped of the old tile, awaiting the new. And the kitchen might best be described as a work in progress.

The picture does reflect the amount of light which can enter the room from the sliding glass doors onto the screened lanai. We both look forward to having that large deck area, which can be accessed from both the master bedroom (shown) or the living room. This home is all on one level, and will replace the two condominium homes we currently have, both on multiple levels. I'm looking forward to the life of fewer steps, and greater space.
