The boys' new playspace

They finally got permission to play in the huge dirt pile out back...they have been in heaven!

Floor Framing

Framing started yesterday...

Here is the framing at the former breezeway, future expanded living room.



Framing for the bedroom addition.

Framing starting!!!!

We passed the all the foundation inspections and framing will be starting on Monday. Sounds like things will really take off from here. We reviewed some exterior door options and need to get the windows ordered so the we will have the exterior shell completed before the main rain season starts.

We do have some work that did come up unexpectedly. Plumbing for a new water line from the existing meter to the house. The existing is only a half inch galvanized line and we are replacing that with a 3/4 inch copper line to bring us back the pressure and avoid future corrosion in the line.

Finally...some photos

I am learning this blog site so the pics from here are in order except at the end....but you get the idea.

Here is what's been happening around here the last couple weeks. Framing starts next week!

I'll try to update photos each weekend.

The beginning phases...

We have a permit!!!

Last Friday we officially could start construction. So our remodel/addition has officially begun!

We did some grading and retaining wall work a month ago. Then discovered we needed to replace our main sewer line. So that's been done and demo has begun!

We'll keep you posted on what's happening with pictures soon!
