Day 100 - 105

We headed north for Jesus's B-day.


Lucy came back with us for a quick visit and to assess the progress.


Can't say the stairs met with her approval.


Up or down


The bathroom was received with similar skepticism. 


Although the tub was given a thumbs up as a bomb shelter.


Air conditioner compressor units also showed up.


Second floor walls are built and ready to be flipped up and put in place.


And then the snow came.


The guys are off till the beginning of the new year so with a little luck it will take care of itself.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Day 96

First floor walls are framed along with the second floor joists.


Floor to ceiling height is pretty nice.

A few more walls the rest of the week.

Day 93

It has been a while...
Work started outside and photos don't work all that well in the dark (when we get home).

We've stabilized the footing and poured a new slab.  We also had a visitor...


That left a memory of the experience in the concrete.  No big deal it is going to be covered up with a built in bench. 


An opening has been left for the new Glass Garage door. 


And the "Ice Cube" bathroom on the second floor is about half way tiled.

Framing up the back will start on Monday and then a little break at the end of the year for the holidays.

Day 79

Just a little off the top please.  
The rear roof is gone along with the second floor old bathroom walls.   

looking up from where the tub used to be.


Old sink home


Old toilet home


Reconfigured bathroom.


New rear window opening


New sink and toilet (wall hung) on the second floor.


with the tile floor almost done.


The back of the house should be gone by Monday.  Ah...addition by subtraction.
