We would really like to open the living room up to the Hobby room and bring down this blockade of light. The Hobby room 's outside wall is all glass, the largest sliding glass doors that we have ever seen. I think the intention was that one could have a lovely view while dining here, or doing their taxes and art projects, but sadly, we see only the neighbors' horrible mint green exterior siding renovation - her aesthetic is beyond comprehension. I was thinking of building a trellis outside of the huge sliders as there is a nice walkway /play area potential with a huge wisteria draping over the whole area to conceal our ridiculous neighbor's taste.
about the wall tear down: I had the exciting opportunity to see our other new neighbor's shear wall between the living room /hobby room while their mohagany paneling was removed and yes, there is a shear wall ( albeit mere 2x 4's in a cross x pattern spanning roughly 6-8 feet in center of wall). Also, the space has the potential to quite a grand open space with great views of the someday landscaped back yard and private open space hillside. I need to get some quotes from engineer for a header option here.
