Clifford and I are sitting here eating lunch...Clarence is at school, Clancy's taking a rare nap, and Adina and Matt just left for town to bring her to preschool. I thought I'd take a moment to update, since it's been a month now that I've written again. Here are some pictures of what's going on at our house: an addition! We decided in August or so to add on quickly before winter. Thanks, Mark, for your awesome help! It's a family room with a big deck on the east and south sides. The old living room will just be a piano/play room for now with hopes of someday turning into my kitchen...all in due time, I guess.
Matt ripped the rotten deck off the house with the tractor.
No more deck.
Getting ready for cement
Putting plywood up on the outside...can't say that I helped much...I just made a lot of meals for the guys.
Came home from hockey practice one night to find this...it was sure cold in the house that night!
This is Matt and Mark shingling on a warmer day in early winter. Now it's all closed in, all the windows are in, and it's opened up to the old part of the house. I'll post pictures of what it looks like on the inside some other day.
Other than working on the addition, we've been feeding cows every day, Matt's gone fishing a couple times, we're running to hockey practice and a few jamborees, and just enjoying being home with our fun kiddos.
Have a wonderful day!
I always enjoy reading your blog posts, Jacki! Your addition is sure coming along nicely. I LOVE the wrap around deck! Makes a nice farm house look. (It's my dream to have one on this house someday, too!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katrice! A deck would look great on your house! I'll have you over for coffee this summer and we can enjoy it!
