The space behind the walls turned into a play area for the kids




The first part is demo. Tear the wall out between the two areas and clean out all the insulation.



I cut a hall entrance.


Shot from the bedroom looking into the closet and then into the wall space.
Shot from the closet looking toward the bottom L of the wall space.
Because I can't move the vents, I just made a little entrance beside them going through the closet. I lost some shelf space but its a bigger closet so I wasn't worried.

Here is a map of the area I found behind the walls.

This is still a work in progress. The sheetrock is in mudded and painted. I will upload pictures later.
