Framing for walls.
Cement is poured for walls.


Everytime the cement truck came I had them give me a
wheelbarrow full of cement and I worked on the pavers in the front of the house.

Area #4 Living room

Jared found out we were going to take

this area of the wall out

and decided he would like to throw hammers, and screw drivers at it.

Chelsey decided to join him.

Area #5 (New bedroom)

Now when you go downstairs you can go left into a bedroom

or right into the hallway.
Here is the framing for the new bedroom.

Back to the Master bedroom...
Here is the wall between the office and the master bedroom.

Sheet Rock is gone.

Eric taking the framing down.

The wall is gone now and our room is bigger! Area #5 Master bathroom.

This is my old closet being taken apart to create a larger master bath.

Outside is a Mess.

So while Blake had fun at scout camp with his dad for a week.

It seems it took all his energy...

So we had a busy week both at camp and at home!

July 5th

Blake, Chelsey, Jared, Andrew, Amy, Eric, Chloe & Ronnie.
Chloe was being goofy! She is so fun!

Remodel plans

I have to tell you that the remodeling plans require some times little tweaks of my house and other times large tweaks. We removed the old deck of our house and thought we would be fine with out a deck. Then realized when summer came that we want a deck. So we took the side of our house that made the most sense to have a deck, and began working in that area. We never used this side of the house at all...

above you can see the beams from our old deck.

This photo you can see the beams from the New deck! This is a medium tweak! Eric worked very hard on this the 2nd & 3rd of July. He is leaving for Scout camp monday morning.

Remodeling Day 1

Here Bob is moving the cement from our old Patio.

The Foundation has been excavated!

Guess who likes Cherries?

Remodeling...

We are about to start remodeling. Our house has to make a change so we will be adding a 2 car garage. Above the garage will be additional living room space.

You can see in this picture the deck. Below the deck will be the garage and above the deck the living room.

Here is the back of our house. We painted it last summer.

The pictue above shows the deck now removed.The orange lines are where our addition goes out to.

We are excavating on Wednesday!

Chloe loves Strawberries! My Neice Kjersten graduated! This is my mom, Chelsey, Kjersten & brittany Walker

Guess who's crawling?

Chloe has been crawling for almost two weeks now. She is looking at our dog bean.
