“Hitler ordered the construction of the fortifications in 1942. Almost a million French workers were drafted to build it. The wall was frequently mentioned in Nazi propaganda, where its size and strength were usually exaggerated. The fortifications included colossal coastal guns, batteries, mortars, and artillery, and thousands of German troops were stationed in its defences. When the Allies eventually invaded the Normandy beaches in 1944, most of the defences were stormed within hours. Today, ruins of the wall exist in all of the nations where it was built, although many structures have fallen into the ocean or have been demolished over the years.”

This view shows window over sink which will be changed for a larger one bumped out about 9 inches, size 36w x 48h. The other window will be removed and a 5 foot opening from master bedroom into a sitting room will be added
From dug trench, termite treatment, cement pour, block mortaring, reinforcing rods, lumber delivery, framing to.....what?
NOTE: added4/18/2019
This was taken a mere week after work began (Oct 27, 2014) on our whole house remodel. Further details of what you see above and what changes were actually made.
The kitchen window was NOT bumped out even an inch, because it could not be protected adequately from breakage in a hurricane. I wanted to have an “infinity” window behind the sink, with nothing between the countertop and outdoors except glass. It required the window to be installed after much was done, and it was a special e-glass constructed to fit within the framing for the OLD window. I enjoy this feature immensely today.
Further, the wooden exterior which is painted yellow above, was all removed along with a goodly portion of the old plaster and stucco back wall. The window on the back wall would be lost when a sitting room was added across the back, so more than a 5 foot wide opening was needed. It was serious labor required to remove the cement plaster for the kitchen and the bedroom. In the end, where a wall was removed we left a sub of the old wall and in the overhead the doubled 2x12 beams added to support the ceiling, were held up by the wall stubs. I considered it paying homage to the bones of the strong old house stick built in 1950 by a contractor for his mother.
The end walls of the 10 x 30 addition had NO WINDOWS in them. Bookcases were meant to go floor to ceiling in the north wall of the sitting room. The south wall would house the fridge and the stacking washer/dryer, with a pantry cabinet....I added an under-counter GE 2 drawer fridge for beverages, handy spot for coffee paraphernalia. The opposite wall, along the NORTH side of the house, had no windows because it would feature wall-to-wall wooden bookshelves on metal brackets, heavy duty to support lots of weight. Across the back wall would be almost-floor-to-ceiling e-glass windows non opening, six foot tall. This wall faces EAST. There is a deck no sign of it in this photo, but it spans nearly the entire back wall, and will feature a hot/cold outdoor shower.
The current shape of the roof will continue, reusing the roof vent in the new exterior attic. In the process, we replaced the entire roof with architectural shingles (not metal as I’d wanted); replaced the sewer line to the street; replaced the a/c heating unit; added a whole house Generac natural gas generator; replaced old electrical and upgraded to 200 amp electrical service; converted heat to natural gas; hot water to a tankless gas. Our gas bill increased but the amazing thing was how different our AVERAGE ELECTRICAL BILL changed.... it went from a $294 monthly average all year, down to $74 per month.. and it is still at $80/month almost five years later.
What would I do differently? I’d add total window replacement for the whole house, to further maximize energy savings. And, I’d seriously consider adding powered roll-down hurricane shutters.—since we had the generator to assure power, no manual deployment would be required as we aged.
Another note to older people who may be considering remodel of a home rather than downsize or whatever..... if as a couple one of you does not deal with change in your personal lives, it can produce some problems. Before committing money to a big remodel project, weigh your options.
