This house was scraped with carbide scrapers.  Some carpentry was completed where rot had occurred.  It was then primed with an oil based primer and top coated with latex paint.

We remodeled this formal dining room in this late 1800′s home.  This home was an old school house that was turned into a home.  The entire room was gutted with the exception of the douglas fir flooring.  The built-in corner cabinet was carefully removed.  New ceiling joists were sistered to the existing joists to strengthen the floor that was above this dining room.  A new wall was built in front of the existing wall with the two windows and new energy efficient windows were installed in place of the old windows.  New insulation and sheetrock were installed along with decorative moulding on the ceiling.  Custom trim was milled from oak and installed around the windows.  The old oak moulding was stripped and reinstalled throughout the room.
