A few quick jobs

Here's a look at a few of the quick jobs that came next.  The front entrance got insulated and the plastic was put up later that night.  Also our beautiful window was installed above the front door.  It lets in sooo much light...I love it!


Here's the view from outside....note the staircase leaning against the house.


The new stairs were installed in the front entrance.  Here are the up,


and the down.



Here are the garage doors being installed.  This guy was hilarious....he loved to chat.  He also loved to SING!  He had his headphones on and serenaded us all afternoon!  It was not good.


I don't know why I didn't take a picture of the doors when they were finished.  I guess I know what I need to do next.

Here is the fruit room emptied out and we're starting to rip out the shelving.


Down comes the drywall and insulation.


Here is the shell that was left until we moved the wiring and the the heating guys needed the space.


Next we moved on to demolishing the closets from both of the upstairs bedrooms at the end of the hall.  We needed the space for the stairs to go up into the addition.  This picture is looking at the closet in what used to be the master bedroom.


The framing all comes down.  You can see through into Marens room through what used to be the closet door for that room.


This is looking down the hall


That whole wall and doorway are no more.  All the prep work is now finished and we're almost ready to cut a big hole in the end of the house for the new stairs.  Carefully and properly of course!


We also got another load of gravel for the muddy driveway and the cement guys also needed some more so they could get the prep work done to pour the stairs in the garage down to the door that will be the new back entrance into the back hall.


Here they are getting ready.


They filled this in with a little more gravel and then came back and poured a few days later when they were in town doing another job.


That's probably enough for now.  I'll add some more later.  I'll try to hurry and catch up!
