The roof is not finished, but we have cover now! Although we have a ways to go, it was pretty dramatic to come home to a more "enclosed" house.

June 19, 2008: A look from the inside
Here are a few shots from the inside. It is a little hard to see, but you can get a better idea of what the inside of our master bedroom will look like. The most dramatic room is the new living/dining room which will have 10 feet ceilings.
June 19, 2008: Starting to take form
The shape of the new section of the house is really starting to take form. Although we are far from done, it gives us a good idea of what the "new" house will look like.

June 16, 2008: Chimney and fireplace are gone
Yes, it is true, the chimney and fireplace are gone...at least from what you can see in these pictures. They do have some more brick to remove that is underground, but for the most part, it's gone. It is hard to see in these pictures, but our new living/dining room area seems really big right now. Of course, there is nothing in it and the walls aren't up, but right now, it seems big. And today, our living space got smaller once more. They walled off the other side of the fireplace (near our current dining table) and access to our backyard from the kitchen has been boarded up.

June 11, 2008: We've got walls
The workers were able to frame out our new master bathroom, master bedroom, walk-in closet and start on our dining room. We have a few issues, with one being major. After removing the ceiling the contractor noticed that our chimney is in the way of one of the new structural beams. So we need to decide whether to keep the chimney but have a redirect for the exhaust or remove the chimney all together.

June 8, 2008: Framing going up
The framing of the new master bedroom and bathroom are starting to go up. Now we are able to get a better idea of what our new space will be like. Far from done, but they're plugging along at a good pace.
June 7, 2008: Master bathroom...gone
Today what remained of the master bathroom disappeared. Here are a few before and after shots.

The old master bedroom is now gone and they are starting more work on the roof. The debris is piled high and the noise is at high levels today. Definitely making progress, but today for the first time, I have a headache from all the noise.

June 5, 2008: Master Bedroom
Before and after shots of our bedroom...one day we have a roof, the next day we don't!
June 3, 2008: A look at the inside
Just a few views from the inside where we have lost our living room....temporarily.
June 3, 2008: The walls are coming down!
Less than 3 weeks in and the walls are coming down! We no longer have access to our living room and our house is temporarily getting smaller. It is crazy to see how far they've come in such a short time.

The demo continues as they are preparing to break into the wall of our living room. Stucco is coming off and it's just about to begin.
