Trent has been working hard on the addition. He had his electrical inspection last week and passed. He got the OK to go ahead and put up insultion and dry wall. We hadn't expected to do dry wall until June or so if wew were lucky but it looks like we should be ready for the dry wallers to come in another week or so. Trent got the duct work done last night and has most the insultion in upstairs. I think they are trying to organize a siding party for this weekend so the outside will show some progress. I can't wait to have it all done and move in. Hopefully by the end of the summer so we can get settled in before the baby comes. I am 18 weeks today. We go for an ultrasound in 2 weeks and we will find out the sex. I am dying to go shopping to get the nursery all outfitted.

Easter

Izzy is getting big! Still small enough to fit through the fence though.

Update

This is the latest, taken this morning. It is really going up fast. They are ready to put up the interior walls upstairs. They delivered the tub and showers. I was so tempted to sit in the tub. It will be so nice to have a bath tub I can soak in and not be sticking half way out.

Moving along

Our addition is really coming along. You can see the walls for the first floor and the floor joists for the second floor are up. Trent spent part of the weekend removing our overhang and facia. He also moved the flooring sheeting up on top. Good thing he is strong and tall.

The Addition

We are making progress on the addition to our house. The concrete guys showed up last monday and they now have all the concrete poured. Just waiting for it all to cure. And Spady's showed up yesterday and started on the framing. We should have the rough structure up in a few more weeks. The first picture is after Trent took down the 3 big trees on the north side of the house. We'll have to do some planting of trees, flowers, grass, etc. when we are all done. I'll try to get pictures up every once in a while so we can see the progress

Facebook

Today I started a facebook page to keep in touch with people. You can find almost anybody on there. Including people I don't want to find me.
We have been busy at home lately. We are adding on to our house and the cement guys have poured the footings and stem walls and were going to pour the garage floor and approach today (I think). Spady Construction will be doing the main construction of the exterior walls, roof and inner wall structures and floors and we will be doing the rest ourselves. We hope to have it done before we bring a baby home from the hospital. So our outlook for the summer looks like a lot of work and not much play. But it will be worth it. We will be adding a large 2 stall garage, a mud room, a master suite and a nursey with an additional bathroom. It will be so nice. I will finally have a bathtub that I can soak in!! that is the most exciting part for me.

We must be crazy?! We've added a puppy, we're adding on to the house and have a baby on the way, what were we thinking? Apparently we weren't.
