This was the kitchen for the upper floor tenant, which will become part of the master bathroom.
Stairway from the main entrance looking towards the back of the house.
Some "lite" demolition in advance of full permitting.
One of two lovely test pits which adorned our backyard for months. These test pits were required by NYC Dept. of Buildings in order to test the compactability of the soil. This is all part of the plan to reconstruct the extension and add square footage on the rental floor, in the kitchen, and master bathroom.
When they dug one of the pits, they found a brick wall that we think was part of a primitive sewer system. We figure that if we run out of money before the plumber finishes, at least we have a Plan B for our sewage.
The parlor floor is beautiful! I can see why you fell in love. Holy kooky wallpaper in the kitchen/future master bedroom! Glad you have that documented, it's pretty exciting.
