LOL. You're right about those hick country boys. My dad was raised up in West Virginia and Southern Ohio. Used to tell stories about shooting cans off each others heads across the creek. He joined up early like most of the boys back then. They did know how to shoot.

Sorry do not have any before pics.

HOWEVER,ow bout some in progress pics taken this AM, sorry about the quality but it is the best my poor camera can do

First pic War Zone1 aka Mrs alfa6's sewing room

The sewing room is an "L" shaped room, if it was a rectangle it would be about 10'x12' because of the stairs to the second floor it is missing about a 4'x6' piece. Some year ago we broke out the wall over the stairs and made it into a closet which helped quite a bit. This time I have made a bookcase in the wall dividing the 2 rooms to free up some space, the bookcase is about 7' wide by almost 2'deep. This should be a good place for the Mrs. to store a lot of her goodies. I also put in a pocket door, you can see the frame in the 2nd pic, in the sewing room at the request of Mrs alfa6 as she thought it would free up some more room for her???

The next two pics are of War Zone 2 aka the Master Bedroom.

The master bedroom is about 13'x13' with a small closet on one side. In the second picture you can see the "bookcase" for the sewing room, as a bonus I get a small bookcase in the Master Bedroom as well. One of the things we did was to put in a new door to the closet as the existing door was only about 6' tall and 24" wide it made the closet somewhat impractical.

As of this posting time I have about 2/3rds of the insulboard up in the sewing room and about a third of it up in the bedroom. As the bedroom is only about 25' from the street that is why I am putting up the insulboard and the 5/8s sheetrock in the hope to provide some measure of soundproofing.
