Week 1

As with our last remodel, the demolition went quickly. Monday morning Jared and Dustin showed up with their many tools and began the process of removing the "bonus room". We will not miss fighting with the screen door, which stuck and wouldn't open more than it actually worked.

We also won't miss the brick planters INSIDE the house.

Unfortunately, the HVAC system had to be replaced because the system that came with the house was too small.  You know the story...budget for a remodel and then figure a 10% increase. Yep, it's true.

In the process of removing the bonus room, Jared discovered some old tiles under the carpet. Wanting to get in on the action, Roger took on the job of removing them. 

With the structure removed, the process of digging for the foundation began. Unfortunately we didn't find any hidden treasures.

The space is now ready for our den!

The forms are set and ready for concrete.

Looking forward to week 2. Happy weekend everyone!
