Wet and hot but the work moves along!

The cement forms are in place. The weather has been very wet this week with heavy rainfall most nights. We are hoping that the concrete is poured tomorrow.
Vanity was delivered this week. Mom is excited!
Trim work all done! Starting to really look like it is near completion.

All the doors were installed and the crown molding was put in the trey ceiling today.
Bathroom tiling near completion as well. Hot days to be inside working like this but these guys did it with a smile- and a fan!

My favorite so far......

See these? Guess what they are......



Pieces to this....look...up to the left.....




I have found my spot, my favorite spot to sit and share this adventure with you. From the comfort of my new deck. A deck that will NEVER have to be stained. A deck where I can watch and listen to the birds. A deck where I can sit and dream of my gardens to come!


And just as promised, the next crew arrived bright and early this morning to do their thing!

Ahead of schedule

The sheetrock is up! The crew will be in tomorrow- Saturday to add the first coat of spackle or whatever that is called!








Our contract promised that work would be complete in 90 days. Wow will our expectations be exceeded. Things are moving at record pace!

Gutters and Downspouts are on!

Sheetrock delivered!

It was so nice to see it delivered by a MACK TRUCK!

Inside looking out

Mom's bedroom will have 5 windows plus one in her bathroom. Lots of light. The living room addition will have a wall of windows. I am thrilled. I love to look out over our back yard. These windows will make that possible year round!

Isn't it pretty in pink? The insulation was installed today!






The brick was added under mom's front bedroom window. Dreaming of the landscaping that will go here.
Mom liked the trey ceiling in our master bedroom and asked for one just like it in her room.

The basement

We thought our basement family room was big before but now it is going to be GIGANTIC! We have plans for the space though. Mom and I enjoy crafting and sewing so for sure part of the space will be used for that. The fireplace from the living room was relocated to the basement. Clever Don suggested making use of the wasted space under the steps for the fireplace insert. Perfect! There is also a store room accessible from outside to house the tractor and the new HVAC system we are adding for the addition.
