Moving On Up

This week has been an incredible week of progress on our house! When we last left off we had poured the footings and were waiting for a break in the weather to pour the concrete walls for the crawl space.  Those were poured last week and here is the progress we have seen so far:

Three of the garage walls are up and the new sill plate is in place around the perimeter of the addition.

Replacing walls where the old kitchen and dining room were to add structural integrity and to support a new roof that is designed for water to run off, eliminating potential water damage!

Wednesday, April 24, 2013
The exterior walls are all up and the newer bigger windows have been framed and the new door opening is cut out.  The trusses are delivered and ready to be installed tomorrow morning.



The pictures don't convey the excitement and and relief we're feeling after a 10 month process of manual labor, loan rejections, and countless hours at the drawing board hand sketching our architectural plans after we realized the set we had professionally drawn up were not in our budget due to building constraints in the area we are in.  This once tangled mess is 83 years old, and we are happy to be the ones to see to it that it is still standing another 80 years from now!
