back...  front...

Also check out these shots of the inside before we bought the house.

Things are back on track again -- might even have two crews working.  Now looking at Christmas by the time we are moved in.

Starting on the kid's rooms:

Excavated for the games room and the garage:

Here, the second story of the addition has gone up (it'll be a sun room).  That's a (not very good) picture of Don, our architect, in the second picture.

There will be a two-way fireplace between the sun room and living room:

Second floor down onto foyer:

  ... and outside:   

the barn's attic (maybe we'll make the barn into a guest house?); right now it's storage:

Early May 

The bottom floor of the addition goes in (it'll be Pattie's exercise area)

outside...   

inside ...    ... the three big (covered) openings will be windows.

The foundation for the addition is done:

There are problems with the floor joists above the living room; some look to be the charred originals from the previous house (that burned down in the mid-eighties).  They are being replaced with engineered joists:

Also, the joists above what will be our master bedroom are too small (2x6) and run too far; so a very large cross beam is put in, that will be incorporated into a bulkhead on entry into the room:

... the basement (demo'd then cleaned up)

... the kitchen

... the living room (demo'd then cleaned up)

... the old upstairs master bedroom

... the old upstairs master bath

... and finally the mess and a new hole
