Danger Closet

Can't believe this never fell off the house. The floor always slanted away from the house but we never knew just how dangerous it was...can you believe there was only 3 small boards holding this up? It was concealed by siding. When they were taking it down, it basicall fell off the house onto the deck (slightly damaging the railing)...at least no one was in there at the time. This is now replaced by a new "bump out" in the dining room.

The Tubs Are Delivered

The tubs are delivered. It kind of reminds me of The Christmas Story...it looks like the box that the leg lamp was delivered in...

The Dormer Is Opened

The roof was opened to build the back dormer. The roof needed to be jacked up and many of the supports were replaced. This also so happened to be the coldest week of the year.

Front Bedroom is Framed

The front bedroom, closet, and some of the laundry closet has been framed. The bedroom is going to be VERY small but it should be OK for a nursery or office.

The first floor was also temped to support the second floor while they insert new floor joists for the dormer.

Front Porch is Decked and the Columns are Prepared

The front porch has been decked and the columns are prepared for reassembly.

Basement is Closed In

The basement has been officially closed in.

Work on the Second Floor Begins

Work on the second floor begins with some plumbing rough-ins (laundry room and guest bath). The demolition of the area by the front dormer has began. Also, the master bath area has been cleared and the area near the new back master dormer is prepared.

Foundation Backfilled

The foundation is backfilled and the basement is starting to come together.
