Around 7:30am last Friday the crew showed up to prepare our existing back patio for the addition. I didn't take any " before pictures" but here is a shot of the back patio a while ago.
The new plans involve replacing that double window with french barn doors. The sliding glass door ( half pictured on the left) will be replaced with a single glass panel door. Our third bedroom window ( not pictures but would be to the far right in the above picture) will be filled in and will be the wall for the new closet.
We will also be getting a new roof on the entire house. The new roof for the addition will cover the entire existing slab. Most will be "addition" but some will be saved for a new screened in patio. Charlotte LOVES being outside and we really have no shaded area to take her. Currently, my car has been given the boot from the garage to allow her to play in there.
Last Friday, they came and dug for the new footers. This was pretty much wrapped up in half a day and they called for inspection. I was super excited because the roofers were even scheduled to start this week. Unfortunately, due to issues with the inspector we didn't get a full inspection till Thursday! They were set to pour concrete this morning however due to all the rain we had yesterday, we got bumped to Monday so they could finish up the job they had scheduled for yesterday.
I am so anxious to get things moving. Because we have decided to do a lot of the finishing work ourselves, there is a ton to be done before baby #2 arrives! As of now, the forecast next week isn't looking too promising either but hopefully I will have more progress to report. Here is what we look like now.
