Im Behind.....

Ok, Im behind again. Time for sleep wins out over blogging time.

Its been about a week since my last post. Been alot of action

around here in that week. So lets get started on getting caught

up.

Going Going Gone

What used to be the back wall of the house in 

our bedroom is coming down. Shane is standing

just inside of where our south bedroom window

was as he removes sheetrock from the wall.

This is not a bad picture..... The haze is the dust

from the blow-in insulation in the attic coming

down as Shane removes the ceiling in what was 

our bedroom. The back wall has been removed.

Boxed In

Im a couple days behind...

(Slept instead of blogged)

Here is the addition with all

the boxing on the walls and

roof. We ran out of house wrap

(white stuff with upside down

Lowes logo). Waiting on roofer

and siding is on its way from

Nebraska.....

Roof Framing

Roof framing is coming along nicely. The crew worked saturday to make up for 

the time they lost last monday and tuesday because of the rain. They got all the 

half trusses up over the new room and got most of the rafters added on to the west side over the family room.  

Walls Up

The walls are up! I didnt get a shot

of just the sub-floor by itself. With 

the exterior walls up we can get a 

feeling of just how big the bedroom will be.

She Thinks I've Gone Crazy.......

Ha... Jokes on her....

I haven't GONE crazy....

I was BORN this way....

You would think after 27 years

she woulda figured that out....

XOXO Love Ya Honey....

Floor Framing

Here the floor joists are in place

and waiting to have the subfloor

glued and nailed on.

Truss Delivery

The semi carrying the roof trusses

dumps them in the back yard. 

Reminds me of years ago..... when 

I worked in lumberyards making

deliveries just like it.

Muddy Mess

With almost an inch and a quarter

of rain in one day the soft dirt around 

and in the hole turned into a big mud

bath. I pumped about 6" of water out 

of the hole. With the pool gone and 

that area bare dirt it too is a sloppy

mess. The lumber delivery truck

got stuck in the back yard and we 

had to pull it out with a 4 wheel drive.

BackFill

Little Richard came back out 

and back filled dirt on the 

outside of the foundation walls
