To call this last week our spring break would be a bit of irony, though our children were off school for a week. Theo in his usual form, worked like a madman to get as much done on our addition as time would allow. On Monday we did foundation prep, Tuesday and Wednesday were concrete pours #2 and #3 for the laundry room and garage. Thursday through Saturday were dedicated to framing the lower floor which is going to be our family room. Not to say that the week was without challenges. We had more rain in two days than I think we've had in the last six months combined, and the concrete truck was so heavy, it broke a piece off of the edge of our driveway. We were fortunate enough however, to have lots of great help. The use of all of Dad's top notch power tools have greatly expedited the process, Theo has some really really good friends that work for Pepsi, and we were able to hire a framer to help us get all of the details right. We have a long way to go yet, but we are so excited to be this far with such fabulous results for our hard work.
