More renovation photos

Just couldn't resist posting some more pix. And how about that guest suite back there?! With the rest of the concrete poured you can really start to get the feel of it now. The guest suite bathroom's going in that back corner, behind the stairs that come down from the great room. Pretty cool, huh? We're trying to recycle the things from the original master bathroom so the Fowler Lake guests reading this might just recognize a few things when they next stay with us. And you know you're in full blown project mode when the contractor sets up the port-o-potty!

Master Bedroom Suite takes shape

More exciting stuff! The big digger thing was at it last week digging through the shale outside the master bedroom expansion. It was cool to see the machine at work tearing through the rock with it's big metal hook.

With any luck they'll get to a point this week when they can pour the concrete for this section but we've hit a cold snap so we'll have to see. David met with Tom on Saturday to talk about landscaping - the excavator can replace the dirt wherever we want it to even out the lawn. It's unbelievable to me that this project just started a few weeks ago and we're already talking landscaping. Today we have to buzz out to the bath store to pick a nice deep two person tub for the master bath. Yippee!!

The beginnings of Walls!!!

This is quite the crew!!! Despite the fact that it's been snowing all day long again, they've been out there doing their thing.....walls starting to take shape, framing out of the new sections, more concrete pouring as the flakes fall! Jim wears his layers and says the cold doesn't bother him but he is hoping for another better weather spell in the not too distant future. David had a long chat with him about heating and cooling which he'll expound on later but I wanted to get some of these new photos posted so you all can see the amazing progress. We feel very lucky that we've got this contractor and his crew after all the war stories we've heard from others who have been through major renovations. It's all meant to be. The universe is delivering for us in a big way!
