so here it is. round II of the reframing of the window rough openings and the walls for the downstairs bedroom(s) and bathroom. the bedrooms and bathrooms are in the area below the upper level on the left of the house. this area used to be some sort of family room and a bedroom off the back of that. didn't really make a lot of sense to me in terms of floor layout (but that shouldn't really be surprising as most of this place really didn't make sense), so it needed to be changed...
here's the ultimate construction worker dealing with the new rough opening in the front of the house. it really wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. we pretty much just cut a hole in the side of the house with the sawzall and pushed the piece out. its was the reframing that was more of a chore since each piece had to be cut specifically to match the existing studs and what not.
here's the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom framed in. the bathroom door is on the left of the picture and the bedrooms are on the front left corner and the back right corner. neither bedroom is all that large, but they're plenty big for a office or guest room, each one is about 150 square feet. the really nice thing is that they have 9 ft. ceilings and huge windows for bedrooms of that size.
