Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful

Its been just over two weeks and there has not been much visible progress. The wet and snowy weather has delayed some of the next steps in the process therefore there are no additional pictures on this post. The next steps planned include:
- Backfilling the dirt around the new basement
- Pouring the floor for the new basement
- Starting to work on the framing for the addition

We are hoping that the weather will be a little more cooperative (although probably still cold) and that some of these next steps can begin this week.

The Walls on the Basement are Up.

The blocks arrived for the basement walls on a rainy day early in the week.



A fork lift took them from the street to the back of the house. The grass has seen better days.




They started work and got quite a bit done in one day






They came back and finished it up the next day. It's really starting to look like something now.
