Welcome

The front of the house that will welcome our family and friend.  Now you will have to use your imagination because the door will change, the trim has to be re-organized and we still have to build the front porch, which at this point is still in the design stage.  It is really fun being able to choose everything, the only problem is that YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE EVERYTHING.

Let there be light

Almost all the windows are in place, now we can look out and survey all that we own.

Moving the outside in

Now this is going to look good while keeping the original house's charm.  This exterior wall will always be there inside the front door to greet our guest with a little bit of help this will be a great design feature.  Some of the guys working on the project think we are crazy, this is just one of the many things that they have just sort of looked sideways at us and walked away shaking their head.  This will happen many more times these before we are done.

The walls come down and the beam goes up

Things are coming together.  The main wall is down and the new beam is now in place.  This is what it's all about, making the space that we dreamed about.  Brent said that he never thought it would look so good.  A wide open space to live and play.  I am sure that Ella has her eyes on this space to run and play.

Ella Has Her "Castle"

Entry tower / foyer/ stairwell - going way up.  It'll make you dizzy inside looking up at the trusses.

  Every little girl's dream is to live in a castle and that is what Ella thinks of when she sees tall towers.  She was in awe when she came back from her grandparent's today and got to see the site below.....

2nd Floor Up

Wow, this thing is starting to look so tall.  We are loving the way the house sits on the site - just can't wait until the old roof is fixed to blend to the side of the new.  We can only imagine what people must think we are doing right now- as it looks so much like we are building two houses sitting hip-to-hip.  It looks kinda funny....
