Sep 29 update

The wall to the kitchen comes down to integrate the kitchen area with the rest of the loft

The newly uncovered entrance hall window

has seen better days and does need some repair

The existing windows that look onto the air and light well that will be enlarged to the floor and open to the deck and air/light well.
