Which Will Come First? New Addition to the Family or to the House?

04/07/15 - It was December last year, and a delightful young couple hired us to build an addition and remodel their home. One catch, (the impetus behind the expansion) they are expecting their first child in early April! So, after some missteps with the plans and the Building Department in December, we finally broke ground in January!
The foundation and slab were dug, formed, and poured by the expert crew of Whitlow Concrete. Here we see our plumber, Nufo, laying rough plumbing before the slab is poured.
Ready for concrete - with vapor barrier, rebar, and one Red Bull fueled crew member! 




 Let the framing begin!
Roof trusses, OSB shear wall on the exterior walls... starting to take shape!




And the interior framing coming to a close. Six more weeks to go! Will we make it in time?!!!










And now, the 2nd week in April, with a due date of THIS SATURDAY, the 11th, we're putting the finishing touches on - inside and out...
