Work on the House - Week 1

We started work on the house last Thursday. These pictures show what has been done so far. Baby Frank is in Greenville for a few days and is missing out on all the fun of seeing the excavators and big and loud machines. When we have a newborn to add to the mix, things will really be FUN around here! This picture is of the back of the house...The window on the left (our existing bedroom) will be Bess's bedroom and our new bedroom will be where part of the "dug out" part is. The bigger window on the right is the existing den and will stay the same, except there will be a porch right behind it, so they will take away the windows and add doors.

This picture shows the doors from the den to what was once a patio before today, the back of the kitchen, and the back door to the kitchen and laundry room. The kitchen wall will be knocked out and it will be extended to the den. The small hall where the back door is will be part of the kitchen cabinets/pantry.

This is the side of the house, where the laundry room is now. There will be a new door right here where the house stops and then it will go back a little bit farther, to where the dug out part is. The existing laundry room will be a powder room and the other part will be an area for some cabinets/cubbies and a laundry room.
