Under Construction

Hola! I write today to give you some detail on our little construction project here in the Maryland suburbs, including pictures! We are in the process of adding a new kitchen and family room, ground floor bedroom and expanding our dining room. The whole process has been terribly exciting to the kids. Every day, they wake up to see what Mr. Dave and the crew will be working on.

First, some before shots. View of rear of house:

Now some in-process pics! View of 'no deck' (i.e. big hole) from kitchen:


Cutting re bar with the fire-saw!

More will be coming soon. As you can see, the grass is completely destroyed. Luckily, we have a lot of useful dirt that was removed from where the deck used to be. The dirt can be used for building support walls for landscaping, supporting the foundation, and best of all, it doesn't cost anything.
