Construction updates: The house is all torn up!
So it’s been a little while since I got some updates up.
The outside doors and windows are in, the electric has started to go in and we have no kitchen…
They told us they wanted to start working on the kitchen, so if we wanted to save anything we needed to clear it out this weekend.
So I spent the whole weekend demoing and removing cabinets and appliances.. it was actually kinda’ fun but a lot of work.
The electric is going in, they’re running plumbing to the new kitchen and the got approval to wrap the house. Things are really moving along.
Here are some pictures of the demo after my work this weekend, they’re in the gallery as well:
Framing and roof
Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since I did an update and a lot has changed in that time.
We now have a frame, a roof and the windows and doors are ordered.
We got concrete
One step closer, now instead of a moat in the front yard we have a large concrete slab, but as far as our little guy is concerned “The man fixed the garden” so we’re all good.
Read the rest of the post for the pictures:
Just about ready to pour the new foundation.
Well, it looks like we’re at the point that they’re just about ready to pour the new foundation.
The yard is dug out and it looks like the forms are pretty much up.
Below are some updated pictures, sorry for the quality.. I took them with my iPhone this morning.
Initial remodel plan
We started thinking about what we wanted to do for the addition.
We played with the idea of going up over the back of the house, but that was too expensive. We looked at going up over the garage, but didn’t really like the idea.. and it was also expensive.
We couldn’t go back because we have the pool in the back, so going forward was our only option.
