Last Saturday, Ryan's dad did most of our backfilling.

Ryan worked on some framing

Ryan finished the outside walls during the week and today he did the roof framing.

Getting Going Again

We have now started our addition. On Saturday, we ripped out the deck and today they are digging the hole for the basement. Here is some pictures. First me enjoying the deck last week. The deck getting taken apart

Today the pumper truck came, that huge boom is cool to watch. They poured the concrete for the basement walls in 20 mins.

I got Katie to take some shots of her room.

And Denia and Jesula's room

After these pictures were taken Ryan finished painting the doors and trim.

It's been awhile

Well, nothing much has been happening on our renos so I haven't been here to tell you anything. Today though we started work on our girls rooms. They picked out their paint colours and we bought the paint and then prepped Jesula's(soon to be Katie's)room. Katie's room is going to have the 2 green colours and Denia and Jesula's room is going to have the lighter green and the purple
Somewhere in this process Katie and Jesula are going to switch rooms so the younger 2 will be together instead of the older 2. I can't wait to see these colours on the walls.

Living Room Complete

Here are some pics of the living room mostly complete. We do want to get new furniture but that will happen at the end once our addition is done.

Now we plan to work on the girls rooms and the main bathroom.

Paint

Ceiling

This is the coffered ceiling. Ryan will be adding embossed ceiling tiles in between the beems. They will be painted a metallic copper colour once we find some paint we like.

New Trim

Here's the old trim

Then I took off all the old trim

Ryan made and installed all the new trim
He also laquered our front door
Here is hte new trim around the bay windowAs you can see the trim is almost the same colour as the wall but we are going to be painting those walls too so the real effect of the trim will not be seen til that happens. But there are other things to come first.

The New Floor

It's Done
