Construction update

I haven't been updating anyone on the construction project, but I have been taking lots of pictures. Despite the bumpy start (thanks to the City's no-leeway-for-common-sense ordinance which delayed & downsized our project significantly!), it is going extremely well! I am so happy with our contractor. They leave the worksite so incredibly neat and tidy at the end of every day! All of their staff is quite personable, friendly, professional, and articulate. I think they are part Amish, they are working so quickly! We have gone from slab to framing and now have a window and the sliding-glass door installed! The roofers will be adding the shingles to the roof tomorrow. The wall into our home will be broken through in the very near future - - as soon as our new back door arrives and is installed. We've already cleared out the living room and the dining area. I think opening up that space is going to make a huge difference. I am so excited every time I realize that Thanksgiving and Christmas at our home is going to be so different this year! The girls have already checked out the chimney-hole and decided Santa is going to have to use some magic to get through it. I just really hope there will come a day when we don't look at it and wistfully remember the original plan and the missing (denied?) square footage.

Here are some photos:
