The chimney went through the attic. When they did the attic into a master suite, it was completely removed from the bottom level up.

Will your decor work with the moisture from the vent free fireplace? They put out a lot of water vapor. I removed one from my house because the moisture was condensing out on my tile floors.

Seth, looks great!!
I love where you’re going with this project! We’re in the midst of closing on a house and I anticipate some big Renos myself... |

Let me know how it goes. And if you ever want to chat about it all, let me know. I’m learning a lot as time goes on. And learning is expensive. But I too am loving how this is turning out. Last thing I think on the menu is the generator I didn’t think of or budget for.

Many congrats, Seth!!
Not everything is $$$.... life, comfort, happiness don’t have a price! Hope you share some “in construction” and “after” pics. It’ll be fun to follow along. Enjoy! |

I must admit I wasn’t crazy about it with the first few pics. After seeing the interior and the work being done, I absolutely love it! Congratulations, well done!

Thanks Cru. And I do agree. Truly, we are building a home that suits our taste and style. Our sensibilities too. It’s just been a bit painful recently. I’ll be thrilled when it’s all over and we are in.

Last year, we bought and renovated a second home. What I learned is: everything is much more expensive than planned, and it’s impossibile to plan for all of the (unpleasant) surprises. It’s over now, though. And it’s a perfect place for us now. |

I still think the exterior looks a little shabby. The siding starts this week. Once that’s done, I expect it’ll look much better. The front steps also really need to go. But apparently I need to wait for the spring to do that. The new windows spruce it up a lot too. They look great. The interior is really nice tho. Tons of charm and character. Will certainly post pics when the outside is complete. Through the process too.

While I own a construction company, I can barely hang a picture. So I’d not try and do this by myself. And in fact, I’ve been prepping for something like this for near to a decade. From what I can understand, I’ll be done with 95% by the end of January. Oh. And my GC is the guy that does all my office build outs, cafeterias and call centers. I give him over 60% of his business yearly for the last 8. I even see his books so I know, considering I’m not doing it myself, that I’m getting a stellar deal. I only need to wait for the spring to complete the driveway and the front stairs.

Seth I like the fire pit area. What's the plan for where the back steps come down to the patio?
