Update on the House Addition

I've had many requests for pictures of the house addition. I'm sorry I haven't been very good at posting about our progress, but it is really hard to capture on camera. People keep saying, "it looks so small on your pictures"...where in reality it is quite large (relatively speaking of course). So I'm afraid my pictures don't really work to give an accurate dimension to our work in progress...but here it is nonetheless.

Last week was insulation and siding week. This week the builder is working on re-roofing the existing house and finishing roofing the addition. We are also beginning sheetrock this week. That'll be exciting!

My Anti-Stink-Doggy-Room:

One of the things I designed for the addition is living quarters for Greta our dog. She will have her own built-in kennel just outside the Family Room. The thing I'm most excited about is that I designed it to take an exhaust fan - like one you would put in your bathroom. Now her retched, gag-you-up-a-river dog smells (and believe me, they are great dane sized) will get sucked up and out of the house! It'll probably scare her to death the first few times it turns on (it's on a motion sensor), but either way I guess the dog smells will stop! :) ***I'm awful!***

Here's Eric installing the GLORIOUS dog-reek eliminator.
