Addition Construction: Week #1

[dr.girlfriend]

If you guys won't get tired of it, I'll post weekly while my addition is being built.  It's amazing how fast it all happens.

Before:  T.v. room and garage emptied out (plus one bewildered dog) -- the addition encloses the porch into the t.v. room and knocks down the garage, adding a master bedroom/bathroom/laundry where the garage is and beyond




Day #1 - garage walls torn down

Day #2:  Garage stripped down to beams

Day #3: Garage completely gone, front wall of t.v. room, porch, and mudroom gone



Day #4:  Big hole in the ground begins



Day #5:  Even bigger hole in the ground

That brings us to date!

The whole addition will be 33 feet wide -- about 13 feet for the mudroom/master bath and about 20 feet for the master bedroom.  It will extend about 15 - 18 feet beyond where the garage ended, I think.  It didn't seem so big on the plans, but now looking at it...it's pretty big.  But we are building laterally, not vertically, to get the ground-floor bedroom.

Oops sorry, I meant length as in duration of the project!

Oh, sorry!  They said about 12 weeks total.  It seemed optimistic to me, but they certainly seem to be moving along at a fast clip!  And we got multiple bids...the price swung by $150k from the lowest to the highest bid, but all of them said 12 weeks.
