Things built, torn down and other projects.(Pictures)

Sounds like the chimney was terminally filled in with all those bricks. That’d be a ton of work to open it back up again, and then you’d have lost that expanded space.

Are you going to raise the floor level on the left?

Seemed like a ton of work to get rid of it too. Lol. And, you lose a fireplace.

I love me some fireplace. But I understand there are those that obviously dont.

The fire place was incorrectly built to begin with. The flu was cracked and therefore unusable and the Struture was in danger of collapse. So it was tear down and rebuild or tear down and put in a beam remove the rest of the walls and go open concept. open concept was cheaper.
It will all be hardwood and level one open room when finished

We will be adding ventless gas logs and a new fireplace in a later phase to this project

I think i figured it out. That's where the chimney was. I thought you were cutting a square in a garage floor or something.

I just looked again. I think I see a new door header in your future too.

I get it, I'm just saying I don't have alot of money, but I got more money than I do sense. I'm tearing down and rebuilding. Little, or alot like this....

That’s beautiful and I’d have saved it if it were mine in some capacity but it’s not a really large room. We turned 3 small almost unusable spaces and a entry way into on 22 by 25 room

This is a sin!

Naw. It’s the carpet that’s throwing you off.

When we run the wood through the kitchen it will all be level

Wow, that’s crazy how thick the whole thing is. I see it now.

We haven’t had carpeting in the last three houses, for which our allergies/asthma is grateful.

Just so there is no misunderstanding of the way I said that. I meant that is what I'd like to do if in that predicament. That's not what I'm doing.

@Orangeslice13
Can hardwood floors be installed over radiant heating? Seems like all I see is with it under tile, especially bathrooms.

Just curious; I’m not touching these hundred-year-old red oak floors.

Is that a hallway? Looks to be about 24 inches.

Yes if done properly

It’s narrow. Only 34 inches

 

[Orangeslice13]

Bricks anyone?
