Addition interior and front framing

I took some pictures of the interior of the new addition. The vaulted ceiling is in the family room and the other is the view into the dining room.

Matt and I both visited the house today and are so excited with the progress on the front framing. The house looks very tall to us. We got to walk around the upstairs and check it out. I think it's going to be some great space for us.

Front renovation plans

This week should be very exciting as they frame the second floor for the front of the house. Matt and I CANNOT WAIT for this to happen. Stay tuned.... ;')

Playroom and kitchen

The kitchen and dining rooms have been demo'ed. For those of you who remember what it looked like (particularly Cheryl and Adam), the built-ins, floors and walls have been taken out in the front right room (we were using as playroom). We did not plan to do this but we had to. The kitchen floor and some sections of wall were also taken down. We liked both rooms and plan to put them back together the same way.

Rear addition framed

The rear addition is almost framed. Here's a view from the back yard and looking into the family room through to the dining room. The vantage point is from the opening where the chimney will be constructed.

Family visit to the site

We visited our house as a family this weekend and had a picnic. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed watching Camden check out the house and ride his little tractor up and down the driveway.

The addition takes shape

The back addition is framed!!!! It was an exciting weekend watching the deck, gable end and then the side walls be built. The length of the house has almost doubled now (not the square footage).

view from the kitchen

Here's a view when standing in front of the stove in the kitchen looking back at the loft and mudroom. This will be the transition into the new addition off the back. There will be two entry ways into the dining and family rooms. On the second floor, the window will become a doorway into an office/guest room.
