We Have Heat!!
Wow-it’s been so long I almost forgot how to update this blog! We have heat–luckily my husband spent the day at an HVAC/Electrical Class! He came home and hooked up our new furnace. Or maybe I should back track a bit. Much progress has been made on our house addition since the garage demo post. Let’s see….
There was a back porch removed
There was lots of digging and hauling of dirt!!! Jake told me he felt like Mike Mulligan!
They dug for days!
Then there was pouring of gravel and concrete and building the foundation with stone blocks. And then came the framing and sheeting.
And then the trusses (this was truly beautiful!) I have a new love of architecture and hardware stores.
From there it was more framing and sheeting
Here is Ginger standing on our new pantry. This will eventually have railings and be a loft above the kitchen.
We have windows now too! And heat as of today–thank goodness!
Daytime view and night time view:
Sorry for the blurry photos–my auto focus is broken and according to my eyes with out glasses this WAS in focus! This is a shot of Ginger’s old bedroom (the green walls and carpet) now open to the new part. That was a small bedroom but now it looks even smaller!
New steps-horray!! Anyone who ever came to my door and tried to enter while carrying anything or happened to be greeted by the dogs or kids (which is everyone, always!) knows how awkward our old steps were and how awesome these will be!
Here we are at the bottom of the stairs, standing in the new super wide hall way looking at my old back door. To the left is my bedroom and to the right is another bedroom.
This is our new bedroom and below is a lucky kids new bedroom (luck is in the eye of the beholder because there is a war going on for my current bedroom)
We have hard wood floors and tile picked out and new appliances purchased. All I have to say is thank god for Pinterest and google!! I love you both beyond words! And more empty promises to update more often! Sorry!
