Construction: Week 3

So much to report this week! We were away last weekend at Disney. We came home Monday to find our drive-way loaded with supplies and a dumpster.

Tuesday morning the framers arrived at 7am. I had no idea what to expect and was amazed with the amount of progress when I got home from work that evening. Here is where we last left off:

And this is what things were looking like Tuesday:

Ignore how "lime" my house looks in this picture!

The framers and roofers works togther to open my existing roof and tie in the new addition. They put in a FULL day. To be honest, after the slab was poured I was a little concerned about the size of the new room and patio. After seeing the framing in place, I was surprised about how much bigger everything looked.

New "bedroom".

Wednesday morning, the framers also arrived at 7am. As I was leaving to drop Charlotte off at my mom's, the roofers also arrived to begin working on the roof. When I got home from work that evening, there were NO shingles left on our house. And the framers has completely finished up.

This window will be the new door into the room.

Thursday morning, the installer was coming to remove my existing sliding glass door and install the new window on the room. The roofers were also there working on replacing tar paper and waiting on an inspection. I came home from work and the roofers were just wrapping up. The new window was in and the sliding glass door was gone. Unfortunately, the door could not be installed that day but they made sure we were covered up for the night. 

That night, my dad came over and we walked the room and marked where we wanted electrical outlets/ cable etc. We thought the electrician was coming Friday morning but he isn't actually coming till tomorrow. The roofers got held off due to another issue with the inspector. We also had another a/c company come out on Friday to walk the house and give us a second estimate on some work we would like to get done. We are waiting to hear back from them before we make a decision on that. Hopefully will be able to do so this week as we are ready for a/c rough in on the addition as well. Luckily, we did get a door and a deadbolt installed where the old slider use to be.

While Friday was a slow day, I am SO, SO happy to see some real progress this week. Tomorrow morning we are scheduled for an inspection. If all goes well, the roofers anticipate finishing up either tomorrow or Tuesday. We also have the electrician coming tomorrow.
