Remodel Phase 1

Here are a few pictures of the first couple of weeks of remodeling work. First they cut a hole above the dining room window to access the upstairs. Good thinking on Garys' part that way they didn't carry building materials through the living room and up the stairs. This first week of construction happened to be the hottest so far it was 120+ up there!




Below a picture from the inside with boards layed down for the construction crew to stand on and lots of blown in insulation.





New floor joists in place ready for plumbing and heating/ac to be roughed in YAY!




Back of the house where they were pouring concrete for a small patio that will sit directly below the upstairs balcony..........it's finished now, nice concrete pad. Gary says may screen it in at some point, nice place to sit outside.



This weeks excitement will be the heating/ac folks coming Tues morning to get that taken care of. The contractor is building the walls for the upstairs in his shop and then they'll truck them over. The trusses should be in tomorrow. Gary thinks we'll have a second story in three weeks, God willing and we don't get a monsoon!
