The Keeper of the Memories

With two of the three walls up, it seemed like a good time to start building the roof. I had some serious doubts at first. I never could quite seem to wrap my head around my husband’s plans. For the life of me, I couldn’t envision this before it was actually built. He would tell me that it’s […]

We’re definitely getting there… The guys have been outside building the walls one by one and they’re starting to go up – slowly, but surely… The weather hasn’t exactly been cooperating for the last several weeks, though. Talk about a painstakingly slow process. We’ll have a few nice days and then end up with either […]

The guys are, no doubt, still hard at work. Here’s a quick sketch – it’s only a rough draft, though, because we haven’t finalized all of the details, but it atleast gives you an idea. We’re officially framing at this point. The foundation is completely finished. Go us! So, what’s next? The walls are going up… […]

This is the mid-week edition. Lol… When the guys finally got done framing the floor, they moved on to actually putting the subfloor down – not entirely sure what we’re putting over this yet – ceramic tile, carpet, or hardwood – but it’s looking awesome. We have some time to figure it out, though. It’ll be a while […]

Just a quick update today.   Being finished with the foundation meant everything getting back-filled with gravel, so there’s no more hole and there’s no more ugly/orange/plastic construction fence. Finally!   I still can’t wrap my head around the progress… everything is cleaned up and the floor is framed. The guys are officially working at […]

By December, we were starting to build the forms to pour walls for the foundation – ok, well… actually, it was more like my husband and the guys, but you get the idea. I just went outside with them every once in a while to take a few pictures – oh, and occasionally I took drinks out for them as well. You […]

We started to rebuild at the end of November. Surprisingly, it was still relatively warm at that point. First things first, the guys built all of the forms for the foundation. We had a few issues with the weather postponing things, but… worse things have happened, right? I called and scheduled the truck to pour the footer, and somehow, I also ended […]

Several months ago, I posted about planning a space for me. This project had actually been in the planning stages for quite some time, but in November, we officially broke ground on it. We demolished our existing enclosed porch and started over again.   The plan is a sunroom-style studio with space for the little guy […]
