Framing soon follows

Joe doesn't rest on his laurels and gets right to framing.  In the kitchen, we steal some space from the dining room for the refrigerator (so that it no longer narrows up the path from the kitchen door and the basement):

Upstairs, we bump out the coat closet in the back bedroom so that you can actually hang your clothes (!):

In the bathroom, we relocate the door so that we can put in a double sink vanity, as well as steal some space from the big linen closet for a niche in the hallway (no photos)

In the front bedroom, we build new, more manageable steps (i.e. shelves) above the stairway to maximize and better access storage:

In the basement, besides framing for the future bathroom, we furr the walls and ceilings so that we can insulate as well as hide the pipes and ductwork:

And, in the garage, we frame around the ductwork so that we can insulate and fire-rate them:
