Progress, Progress...

Blogging from the road- lots of photos from last week, and I haven't even seen what they accomplished this week yet!

Here's the roof on the addition


Kim and Ruth on our new porch!

Another view form the backyard.  I love how the house has grown up around our oak tree...
The view from our new office space...

10-10-10 - Now THAT's a Porch !

So progress has slowed a bit while we get the roof structure planned out correctly, but while the addition has been in a holding pattern, the back porch has really taken shape:

Here you can see Jake standing on the new porch.  it has tongue in groove flooring. This is the view from the house.

The view from our backyard.  New siding and windows will go on the side of the master bedroom.

Here's Jake in the doorway to the new living room.
Lastly, here is a view of sunlight streaming through the open gable to the addition.  Can't wait for the new roof and vaulted ceiling!

Porch, floors and walls!

Lots of progress this week- Porch floor is framed, internal walls of the addition are in place, and the subfloor is fixed. 

 Here is a view of the front of the addition, looking through the bedroom.  No roof on it yet...

Here's the view from inside the bedroom.  The old wall is still in place, bu that will open into the new closet.  

Here's the view down the hall.  To the right is the new bathroom, beyond that is the office space and mudroom.

OK, back out to the backyard- Great view of our new office windows.

They've removed the old kitchen windows and reframed them to sit above the counter.  You cna also see the floor system for our NEW PORCH!!!


The coming week will be a big one- the porch will be completed, and the old roof replaced with the new structure to tie everything together.   Can't wait!
