The Dining Room

After the initial Ida demo, we discovered a water leak from a broken pipe in the second floor guest bath. We noticed paint bubbling in our dining room. This lead to the demo of yet another wall and the surrounding of the bay window. The framing around the window was originally low coming down to meet the top of the casement. We took this out and raised the height to where the original header was.
