November 24: last work before holiday

 Got a few pictures of the work before the guys took a
long holiday weekend for Thanksgiving.

There was some more done with the siding and with the electrical work.

November 22: snow job

It was a snowy, snowy Monday,

 but that didn't keep the workers away.

The old sliding-glass window was taken out and replaced with a window.

This was "no electricity day" since the electricians spent the day running wires.

They were troopers!

The lucky guys had to brave the elements while out of the house 

and brave the spiders while in the crawl space and attic.

Since were *in the dark,* we wanted to keep the kids occupied

and to not drive all the workers crazy. 

So we headed to Costco to instead overwhelm all the shoppers there.:)

We left after lunch, and the snowy morning had turned into a blizzardy afternoon!

November 18: walls out, doors in

The view up the stairs is different today.

It is now a hallway of black plastic!

The bedroom walls are on their way out, and the add-on's doors are in.

They started building closets into the new attic room...

now it can be a for-real bedroom.:)

November 17: and more roof

The morning began with some... housekeeping.

The bathroom has been cleaned,

so now it's time to finish the shingles.

Walking around on the roof would give me the willies.

Talk about willies- You wanna put up shingles and swing a hammer

from one of these ladders?

Just about finished...

November 16: more shingling

And the roofing continues...

November 15: shingle time

I took a picture first this morning, standing at the front door

and looking at the top of the stairs.

I don't know when exactly, but this view will soon change!

Before we left for school this morning, a big truck was pulling in.

It's time to unload the shingles and to start putting them on the roof!

November 14: prepping for more demo

 It's early Sunday morning.... otherwise known as super-late Saturday night.;) 

We've been getting ready for demolition work that should start sometime this coming week.

The kids have gone to bed, and we spent time

gutting the *old* bedroom and pulling out the flooring.

The kids enjoyed stomping around in the new room.

I had to go inside and watch them through the dirty kitchen window

because that big empty room was too noisy and echoey!:)
