Ben want's me to post another!

I say "No. It's too late." Here's a dangler for you...next post...demolishing the wall between the house and the addition! Ooooo, very exciting.

But for my shrubbie friends out there, here's a pretty flower from the garden:

Second post for tonight...

Since I have time, I'll get a second installment posted...keep scrolling down for today's earlier post.

Here is Ben busting up the sidewalk, so I can dig a hole:


Here's me digging a hole, so the concrete cutters can get their equipment in the hole:


Here's the hole in the concrete that the concrete cutters cut, so we can put a bigger window in...the window is supposed to be delivered this Friday.


This is Ben building a bulkhead around the duct work in the "lower level":


This is the bulkhead which will be over the kitchen island. For our designer type friends out there, we have some fancy-shmansy Sistemalux fixtures to go in there. Much thanks to Tara & Vektra Lighting for making that happen!

I know...I know...

Yes Folks, it's been awhile. I've got a lot of photos to post, but since it takes long enough to download them - I'll do it in installments.

Since the last post, it felt like the renovation was going very slow. Plumbing, electrical and framing is not as showy as demolition. Every stud looks like the next stud , and there is so much stuff that needs to go in the walls before the drywall goes up. So, the changes have been less drastic...and so, less photos to show off. Here's a few photos from June 15th & 21st.

This is me eating a bagel in the main bath:


This is Ben's handy work for the main bath shower & bath rough-in:


This is Arjen's pet beaver:


This is a nail puncturing a pex pipe, whoopsie...


This is the water line from the nail in the pex pipe. We were really lucky here, the nail held the water until we left the house...then once the pressure built up, it created a nice fine mist. Fortunately, the water didn't make it past the sub-floor and the wet-vac took care of most of it. The wood dried very nicely, no warping, no mold.
