Great Room beginning or beginning of a great room!

The house started out with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In the past year we have added a bathroom and an office. Recently we destroyed a bedroom and opened it up to the dining room and living room (names used loosely since they are all just storage rooms so far).

We didn't think that this project would be able to happen yet financially, but my dad has a contractor friend who worked with us for a few days and we got a 25 foot/ 900 lb beam put up so that we could take walls down! Yay!

In the next few weeks we will be getting drywall installed. We have been looking at the innards of this house for 1 1/2 years! Please, close it up!

We found some old barge pieces were used in our house. Waste not, want not!

Bobby making the final adjustments. We had to let the house settle with it's new beam for a little while before removing the old beam and studs.
