Jeremy, that curved work island looks very functional, but wasn't in tune with our room shape and the traffic flow, etc. That will look great though.
Here's some additional photos for an update, it's progressing nicely.
Cat scan and lab work on the new wall area.
The new raised portion of the den floor. The whole den will have a floor at this height, the same as the rest of the house by the end of summer. That's my portion of this project, i.e. phase two. This early raised portion was required by the revision to the wall position and shape. It's interesting to see how the structural supports were fashioned, and that exactly how I will do the rest. Also in view is the garage door, never removed by the PO when they did the conversion from garage to den.
The knee wall supports for the 2x10 floor joists which rest on the old garage cement slab.
The stud walls going in, and this is about the time when I noticed, well after downloading nearly 80 photos that I have major dust on the lens, sheetrock demolition dust no doubt.
One of two pantries is framed in, this is the smaller one, the other one is about 13 inches more in width, the two together are about the same space as the three in the old kitchen. We'll resuse two of the three doors for these, and the third door will be used for the bathroom in the den.
The smaller of the two pantries, on the north side of the room.
After cleanup at the end of the work day, while not so visible, the plumbers were here today and accomplished all the rough plumbing tasks except one, for the work island sink, which can't be done until the work island is in place. It's beginning to look like something.
