And the building begins!!!

Well let us fast forward a month and we have the rebuild now under way. The foundation was put in on Friday. I'm sure the neighbors loved us when the cement crew showed up at 6:30 AM!

Today they started on framing....so here we go again! Notice the small window at the top of the picture. This is where Milo sits most of the day keeping an eye on everyone! I need to get him a shirt made that says foreman!






Here we have another view. The cement squares are the footers for the deck.








Hey at least today they did not start making a ton of noise till the neighbors were at work!





Here you are looking at what will become stairs to the upper level. I am standing in what will be what we are calling Ben's "Man Cave". Behind where I am standing is what will be a new bathroom/laundry room.








And this will be the view looking out the walk out basement doors once this is all done. Ben has done a lot of work on clearing out along the creek line so that we have a good view of the fairway.




Well that's all for now. Logging off to go to our "hearing" with the homeowners association over the dumpster. Just one question.....How do you do work on a house and NOT have a construction dumpster. Oh and to boot the rule they say we are violating....well in the same sentence it says "unless you are in a construction phase of a home" Well what the heck do you think we are doing???!!!! UGH....

I will keep you posted!

Very nice progress indeed! Not only do you need to find out why your HOA has such a problem with you having a Dumpster, please ask them why in the heck is the word Dumpster supposed to be capitalized?!? These are the mysteries of life I need to find out!
