We’ve finally got our plans and permits and are moving right along with our gut reno! And like most renovators, we plan to document the project the whole way. <\/p>\n
This is a South Slope 2-family semi-detached brick house. It’s 16′ x 66′, so, about 1000 sft on each of the two floors. Plus there’s a tall dry basement. When the rest of the house is finished, we plan to turn most of the basement into a library, when our finances recover. Right now most of my books are in storage. <\/p>\n
We’re planning to convert from a 2 family to a single family home. So the kitchen comes out of the second floor (although we’ll be leaving the plumbing for it behind the walls just in case). Also we’ll be opening up the staircases. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve finally got our plans and permits and are moving right along with our gut reno!
