And the roof comes off!

There hadn't really been much to post about lately - everything was moving ahead, but not in any way that really lent itself to pictures. They finished up the windows in the garage (all except one) and started gutting the kids' room. But today they started work on the roof, and that was something that I definitely wanted pictures of!

This morning we headed out to a Dr's appt. and this was the view:

After the holidays...

Tthe holidays put us behind schedule a bit and you'd be right. Now that those are over, work has restarted! YAY!

And the Garage Construction is starting soon!

As in next week soon! Yippee! They are bringing in panels for the garage (which will be finished with siding so when it's done you won't be able to tell which is solid log and which is panelized) and Pete called and said they will be here next week to start work on it!

The plan so far is to finish the garage so that we have storage space while they work on the upstairs bedrooms (because right now we have zero storage, which will only get worse when we have 1 bedroom to live in while they rework the roof and create the bedrooms.) Once the garage is done we'll be able to store everything in there, and the kids will sleep in the playroom (we'll probably just put their mattresses on the floor so we don't have to set up all their beds). Hopefully once they get started we'll have some new pictures to share!

Moving right along!

After the excavation was finished, they had to level out the area and block it out to get it ready for the cement trucks. Our son was thrilled about this part because of the huge pile of dirt they left!







Everything is coming along well! We're trying to finish up the inside of the playroom (they have the paneling up inside and we're putting the flooring down ourselves along with little things like painting, putting up the lights, etc...) It's exciting to see it moving along so quickly! I know after the cement gets poured it will slow down a bit because the contractor is finishing up another project before getting started on the garage. But it's still nice to see things getting done!

Excavation

The guys showed up to dig out the foundation for the garage! You can see they marked it out first, then started digging. This will be a cement slab foundation when it's finished.
