We'll be looking at some big changes to Two Holt's interior and exterior in 2016 so I decided to document Two Holt's progress at the end of 2015. We're ready for the rough framing of the addition which will begin in January. Our contractor, Jerry, estimates the total job (renovation and addition) to take 8 months to a year. I hope he's over-estimating! And lots of interior changes are coming to the existing structure in the new year, too. The barely 8 foot ceilings will be gone as we take it up and claim the attic area. The vaulted ceiling will make it feel larger. The present living room will become the dining room and we think it will be lovely. 2016 changes to this area will include removing the low ceiling and taking out the walls to open the space and allow it to flow directly into the new living room. We will be taking out Two Holt's one big closet to get the open floor plan we're seeking. The wall between the bedrooms will come out to make it one big space. Plus we'll be adding seven more feet as we tie the new addition into the existing structure. The final living room size will be 18 x 20. Two Holt's one present bathroom will be changed into a powder room. It will downsize a small bit as we lose the bathtub, but the biggest change will be that we will take out the storage spaces, close the wall which is now the entry to the bathroom, and access the powder room from another wall in the future living room (presently a bedroom)--entering back where the tub currently is located. The sink and commode will be placed on the current entry wall. We're excited and nervous both at the same time! We're hoping the final result is everything we dream it will be. Keep watching to see the progress!
