Hey Mom, another post for you!


Hey, Mom. The kids were checking out your new closet!







Here's Dad's bedframe at 3:30. He had the bed on it and made by 4:30!






Linda, this is the livingroom picture you asked for.










Just another shot of the livingroom with it's new flooring.






And another one. This floor is just so pretty! It's going to be hard to see the first scratch on it.


Mom, this post is for you.






Mom - here is your livingroom! No refrigerator, no stove.













No Floor! No Furniture!












Where is your stuff? Well, the livingroom furniture is in my new diningroom:



Your stove and refrigerator are in your new garage:



And your beds are just hanging around in the garage waiting to be set up this afternoon.



It may look like they are close to finished, but there is a lot more to go. There are backhoes in my driveway waiting to get working on what's left of our driveway!

Concrete and Windows



This week the house got a lot of windows! Just look at all that glass to wash!















The Watson side of the house got a new patio door.














These stairs lead from the garage to upstairs. They will be our most used entrance.











These are just some shots in the first floor of the addition.







This is the catwalk from the old house second floor to the addition master suite.








We still have a hole in the roof. It won't be closed until they can join the two houses on the second floor.

I think the shingles in the dining room are an especially decorative touch.







This is our new living room. I think the trash can is a lovely addition.









Here is the egress window. I am calling it the Higley Window because we put it in so that Dan and Linda can escape if they are visiting and the house burns up.












Here is the Watson's living room. I don't think the exposed cords are up to code, but Palmer can still watch TV, so all is good.





This is the Watson bedroom looking into their closet. This week they are going to texture spray it.













These are the hostas. They used to be along side the old garage. All the activity, and they are still alive!















The lawn tractor is in it's new home!

Another week, another blog entry.

Look at that roof over the dining room! The carpenters spent a lot of time on that this week. See the black paper? That means that shingles are not far from being put on!











Here is Gracie doing her best Vanna White immitation! Sam and I were just going for a walk.











Mary took Sam from me to walk him. We have to be careful that he doesn't step on a nail











Here is the small garage. It has a garage door now!










I know this shot is difficult to figure out, but it is of the catwalk that goes over the dining room and connects the master suite with the rest of the second floor. I didn't take any pictures inside the new addition because the stairs are not built yet and I really don't like scrambling up there on a ladder! I know the carpetners were working in there this week because I could hear them.

















This is the floor of the large garage. It has been prepared for concrete that will be poured Monday afternoon.









Inside the small garage, they have drywalled, taped and sprayed. Yesterday they put up the garage door!

















Inside, they have put drywall up in Mom and Dad's closet, and they have drywalled the ceiling in their bedroom. More to come next week!
