Home Addition Week of June 7-11, 2010

Ok, so I'm a week behind. With the construction chaos and getting ready for our trip to Utah I just didn't get any posts up. And unless Eric takes some pictures and posts them it will be another week until I am able to post anything new on the addition after this one.

In any case here is all that happened this last week...



Monday June 7, 2010 ~ Day 13 ~ Total days under construction 27



And the walls go up. Its so fun to see them up. It really makes it seem "real".

With all the walls up, Tuesday the trusses arrive and are prepared to be put up.

Of course the exciting part was watching the crane lift and "fly" them over the house to the back. The first truss took a little time to put into place, since it had to be placed...just right...after that the remaining trusses just flew into place.

All eight are up!

Now the existing walls to the other bedrooms get removed to make room for the hallway.

And this one is removed to make space for the closet for this room. It had to be moved to the opposite side of the room so that the bathroom could take it's place.

And there's the framing for Mackenzie's closet.

The current doorway that you see will be widened for the hallway.

This was our linen closet that was in the hallway. It is being removed to make room for the bathroom.

I didn't get a chance to take some pictures on Friday but what was done was the frames for the hallway and also the frames for the walls separating the new rooms and closets were also done.

I am sure that it will look totally different when we get home next week. Hopefully Eric will be able to post some pictures this week.
