I partnered with Mike McHale and we formed Berna-McHale LLC. This is our first project together, and is going 'pretty much' on-schedule and on-budget. We eliminated a few frivolous add-ons and had some hiccups with contractors not showing up. Overall we are only 2 weeks behind schedule. It looks like we will complete the project by mid June at a 4 month turn-around.
Project Scope:
Remove chimney between Dining room & Kitchen
Open up Kitchen to Dining Room
Open up Master Closet
Major renovations of all 3.5 bathrooms
Remove all knob and tube
Install super high efficiency boiler & water heater
Refinish floors
Fix plaster & Paint Throughout
New Kitchen
Move Laundry to basement
Create patio out back
Significant Landscape work
New light fixtures through out
Brick-work on garage
New garage door
Here are a bunch of pictures from yesterday evening, May 13th. I took them to assist in picking out Vanities & Lighting Fixtures, but it's a bit of a teaser & shows some of the flavor for the completed project.
