Transforming the Front of the House

This will be an exciting post. Here is how the house originally looks. Now, don't blink!

In converting the front carport into a bedroom, concrete is poured at the base of the new front wall so rain won't seep into the room. The photo shows the framing for the concrete. The window on the side is also changed into a bigger one, by mistake. Our contractor bought the wrong size window. Instead of returning it, he ended up cutting a bigger hole and installing the larger window. That is good for us because it lets in more light into the downstairs area.

The front bedroom will have two 3 x 3 feet window looking out into the street and the neighbor's dog, Marley :)

This is our supercool front entry. Instead of entering the house downstairs through the now non-existent carport, we enter the house from the upstairs.

Viola! A new look for the front of the house. The actual front door was not delivered yet so we temporarily installed the back door so we could have some security.
