Moving on up

The roof of the kitchen nook / mud room is done! That means that tomorrow, construction starts on the second storey. It's pretty amazing to see how fast this is hapenning.

Back in Business!

So the glorious addition that I've been waiting for is finally in progress!

A week ago my fella told me that I could expect a surprise when I came home and here's what I came home to find:


The whole back section of the house on the ground! Demo had begun!

After that, there was a lot of clean up and then the digging of a big hole for the foundation - I can't seem to get the hole pics off the camera so lets skip ahead a bit to the building of the actual foundation:






From there, things just kept going up and today I could actually see what the new kitchen nook and mudroom will look like:
The major build will continue to include the new master bedroom suite on top of the existing kitchen.

I seriously cannot wait til construction is done and decorating begins! We're pretty far away from that point but are getting closer every day!
