This is the back of the house, all joists are original--it's where we found the news clippings from 1924 and 1934 in the flooring. Also, this was previously the cellar entrance to the back yard, pre-bay window of course.
The giant heat/air returns--located behind the stove and pantry in the kitchen. You can also see on the left a stack of bricks--there was an old chimney there too, and the cut-away studs are now supported by the old bricks.
The entrance to the laundry room--you can see the old timbers in the walls--so THICK! That flooring is going to have to come out. The floor joists rotted away and the floor slopes a bit.
Opening up the ceiling too, to move the doorway entrance of the room, also allows for more cabinet space.
The appliance wall where the stove and vent hood will go, pantry behind, leading into the dining room. You can see the new "pass through" into the parlor/playroom too. It's a really nice sight-line now.
The farthest point of the kitchen, note all the layers of wallpaper--this is where the fridge will be located.
