Post by shazapple »

I'm sure most of you have seen previous pictures of my addition project. Here is a quick recap of the progress so far...

Started with a junk gathering attached garage...

The mason is here to replace the chimney and the roofer is going to be here beginning of next week! Most of the fall we have been waiting for rain to stop, but now the place will be a flurry of activity.

Fantastic!

It looks great and seems like you have gotten quite a lot done in spite of the rain.

I'm jealous also because I haven't even found time to be able to build a shed I want to build on our property and you've built three stories :o

You've got a beautiful addition going up there! I'm sure it will feel good to get the outside closed up before winter. Seriously the work I have to do just to move a couple of closets will keep me busy all month. You all are doing great.

A lot of progress today! l am almost glad it gets dark early because the cold wears me right out.

The overhangs are on and the dormers are completed. Some sheathing and fascia left to do so we are taking another day off tomorrow, ugh!

Also, new chimney! The old one was in pretty bad shape.

The roofers started today and managed to get a good portion of the roof deck down!

very exciting to watch your project develop and come to life...
question, where are you when taking the photos? in a tree, another house?

look forward to see ongoing progress...

I'm using my go go gadget extendo-legs ;) . Actually, the ground slopes up quite steeply where I take the first picture, and the second is taken from the top floor of my garage.
