After we finished most of the demo, it was time to call in some professionals! Based on the walls we wanted to remove, we needed to put in a pretty big beam to support the ceiling. After installing the beam, the framers did as much framing as they had time for (basically they squeezed us in a a rainy day.) Lucky for me my family is full of builders! My grandpa finished up the remaining frame work like a pro.

Here is where the new doors will lead into the master bath & master closet {both previously the dining room, chandelier still present}
My grandfather helped to finish up the odds and ends the framers didn’t have time for: the laundry room and kids’ closets! We’ve made a lot of progress! So excited to see it start coming back together now!
