House Update

I've been wanting to post some pictures of the progress of the addition but everytime I go to take some pictures of the framing that Jim has been doing I realize that it doesn't translate to photographs at all. It just looks like a bunch of studs. I don't think that I'll be able to post anything until the walls go up. The plumbers have started. They have to start from the basement and move their way up which means our old half bathroom is ripped up so they can run the pipes up the wall as seen above.
This is what it used to look like:

Hopefully it will look like that again someday...

Down Come the Walls!

Jim took the wall down that separated our kitchen from the new mudroom. It was a lot more difficult than it looked because we have about 2 inches of drywall in our ceiling, and not the new flimsy kind. It was the old kind that is about as hard as a rock.

Look what I can do!!

I was going to take away his binky when he turns two, which is right around the corner. I think it's going to be tougher than I thought!
BTW, I'm experimenting with making my pictures bigger so that they're a little more visible. Maybe this is too big...
