Renovations Underway!

We have finally started to make progress on our house renovations/additions. After waiting almost a month after the holes were drilled for the foundation posts, our builder arrived with a crew on Wednesday. I had ordered the materials the week before, so there were no delays getting started. I had also removed most of the siding where the new framing was to go, so that helped, too. Here's a shot of the lumber in the driveway before things got going.


This is where the new downstairs bedroom and "recreation room" will be added. Access will be through an opening where the window is now.


Here's the same area with the floor and walls framed.


On this side of the house, we are adding a large entry and new larger bathroom. We will also gain a "bonus room" on the second floor...where I may revive my passion for model railroading! Or it could be Katie's new studio! Only time will tell....



Here' the way things looked on Friday afternoon...considering Thursday was a holiday, we made great progress for only two days' work. The weather looks good for Monday, so we may start framing the roofs then.
