Framing Begins!

The framing crew arrived this week and they were FAST workers...now it looks like we really are adding on!!

The new Master Bedroom

Love the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom...

And you know Trey and I couldn't let them do all the work...

We repurposed this original lap siding and used it on a wall in the laundry room.

Here's Trey knocking out the original ceiling in the bathroom to show the new vaulted ceiling.

We saved some of the original cedar shake to use in the laundry room, too.

And one last stop to see our weekend progress and headed off to Barley's to meet some friends for dinner:)

Another FUN weekend of work!

Master Bathroom is coming down!!

We did not have to add on a new master bathroom - we are planning to keep it in the same place but totally demo it and reconfigure it.  A lot of work, but we LOVE demo work.

I opted to start pulling down some trim while Trey works on the toilet:)

And now time to move on to removing the floors...more ceramic tiles.

Removing the sheetrock on this wall...this will separate master bath and our closet...

SUCCESS!!

Next up:  Framing begins!!!

Concrete steps are moved and the addition is underway!!!

This blog is more of the "construction" side of our project...demo is much more exciting:)  Galt brought in a backhoe to move the concrete steps and they ended up being conveniently placed on the side of the dumpster-not everyone can step up right into their dumpster...ha!

These steps make it much easier to check out the dumpster...we checked the dumpster all the time to make sure they were not throwing away anything "valuable":)

Now that the steps are gone the digging for the footings began and as always nothing can be easy...they immediately hit/found the old kerosene barrel, luckily they were able to work around it, but it did have to be filled with sand which caused a slight delay.

BUT they kept digging...

AND then starting laying the brick.  Now it's really starting to look like we are adding on.

This is the view from the back door...we are adding on a master bedroom, laundry room & mudroom. Further back will be the screened in porch and deck.

Next up...master bathroom & closet demo!
