STRESSED OUT

Okay, seriously, it's only been two weeks now that we've been working BUT, I think I drastically under estimated the amount of stress involved in remodeling and moving.  Particularly remodeling while still living on the premises!  I'm ready to be packed and moved out but it's hard to think of what you don't care if you see for several months and what you're going to need frequently.......AND getting the motivation to clear out and pack up cupboards, closets and rooms that are stuffed to the gills!!  It's a very daunting task.  I know Cory is feeling it too; he's been working his normal shift at work (10 hrs/5days) then coming home only to KEEP working for several more hours (usually about 7 MORE hours).  He's exhausted. I'll keep posting links to the picture album I started on Picasa and announce when I add them (click the picture and it'll take you there).  Happy remodeling! :o)

So work officially started April 12, 2010. And, within a week of starting we've been able to have the porch demoed, ground cleared and excavated, forms set, foundation poured and now all the dirt has been backfilled (for the bump out’s in front). I’ll post some pictures of all the work that’s been done so far as soon as I can. It looks so different already!!

Waiting, waiting and more what? WAITING!!!

It seemed like it took forever for our permit to be approved and finalized!! In actuality it was approved and ready for pickup three or four days before our four week deadline they had originally gave us. So with permit in hand we were able to "break ground"......yeah!!!!!
