Sawdust is flyin'!

Wow - the framers are rolling!  Lots of action today (this was actually the update from Thursday, April 7; we've had some blog issues)!  Grateful!  They removed the structural wall between the family room and kitchen, and set up temporary supports.  They also removed the drywall ceiling in the new schoolroom.  This room used to be a front porch and then was doubled in size and closed in for a sunroom.  You can see the old front porch roof which was "hidden" by the drywall ceiling.  The exterior roof was placed over this one.  Very pleased with this contractor so far...

Beautiful day!  Happy to see work trucks!

Future school room - ceiling removed...
this beam and the old porch roof will be removed.

The framers removed all of this on Thursday.

Structural wall is now removed and a temporary support
system is set up while they assemble the LVL.

Here's the wood for the LVL - big boys!

The right half is the old front porch roof with the left half
showing the newer roof that covered over the entire room.

The dogwoods and Japanese maple are brilliant!

Uncovering the steps - what's under this worn green carpet?

Another beautiful dogwood...

Tulips that we planted in the fall...
