November 2021 Lake house update



Before


After

So the fridge is the same fridge, our new one is sitting in our truck, waiting for us to bring it in.
The fridge in the "after" picture is in the space where the hallway used to be.  The fake beams had been removed, and the ceilings are now shiplap.  The dark beam in the after picture is where the wall was that had the white shelves in the "before" picture.
Range and range hood are to be delivered tomorrow!
Countertops are ordered, but will be about a month before they are installed.







Before and After looking out at the lake.  They are taken from about the same spot.  Where there was a sliding door, is now a window, and where the utility closet and heater were is where the other window and beam are in the after picture. 


ok, this room got complicated....
where the brown box is, is our water meter.  Now it is in the little closet (same spot in the house), but the furnace sits on a platform on top of the water meter.  The house didn't have a furnace, so we had to have duct work done and the furnace installed.  Code wouldn't allow for it to be installed upstairs, and downstairs is so small, that this was our best option.  Next to the small closet that has the furnace and water meter, is a real closet for that little bedroom.  The closet is where the window used to be.  We closed it up because we are building a garage on that side of the house.  They bay window, is gone, and a nice new window is in it's place.

Next is this awkward room at the front of the house.  You can see the electrical box for a reference.
Right under the curtains on the left side of this picture were washer and dryer hookups, and next to the picture, was a tiny little window.
We added stairs, and a bigger window, and put the front door in this space.  Behind the bypass doors are the washer/dryer, and a coat closet.





Where this closet and window was, is now a stairway.  We closed up both the windows on the west side of the house.
On the lake side of the house was a little weird bathroom, and next to that was this bedroom.  Now that space is a family room looking out at the lake, and a nice, small bathroom.

Where the stairs are in the above picture, is where the hallway is now.  The stairs have been moved to to west side of the house.

I haven't read your blog for awhile. So fun to catch up on the happenings of the Deaners. So adventurous and always keeping us guessing what's next for your family!! We sold our cabin in November. At the time it seemed like a good idea, but now when I look back at pictures it stings a little.
