This is what we found when we took down the siding to move the door. Awful, we know!
So the side door that opens into the kitchen was set towards the back of the house and when the door opened, it slammed into the oven. It was a poor design and dangerous if the door opened while cooking.
The picture of the black wall is taken from the garage side entrance. This picture shows where the new entrance will be.

New door entrance! You can see the side door entrance has been moved towards the front of the steps. It now lines up with the garage side door. Also new exterior wall and insulation. Siding has to wait unfortunately.

Our living room is shaped weird. There wasn't any direction or purpose. Vickey built the fireplace! (Not completed yet)

The hole is where the last homeowners had the microwave installed. The holes on the ceiling and wallpaper were discovered after removing the wall cupboard. A nightmare.

Our oddly shaped living room was just big with lots of extra space. We also had zero storage closets. So we decided to build one. We extended the wall from the downstairs bathroom and enclosed a storage room on the far end of the living room.

Our cake toppers!
