Beginning the basement walls

This is yesterday's progress. This morning Bob and Tucker went to pick up more forms so more will be done this afternoon. Woohoo!

The first concrete pour

The footings for the basement. 
Tucker did his school here for a while to help keep children and animals off the wet concrete. 😄
We used the excess to enlarge the step outside Mom & Dad's house so the kids can take their muddy shoes off OUTSIDE the house. Much better!

An update already!

I realized that there was no picture of what has already been dug. So here we go:

Our addition!!!!


We have been intending to put an addition on our house ever since we moved here 6 years ago. Every year, however, SOMETHING has seemed to take a higher priority. BUT, this is the year!!!! I am pleased to announce that Bob has begun the digging of the basement and we will actually be keeping up with our blog again with the updates! 

Here are a few before pictures as well as the ground-breaking ceremony. 😀

Tucker will be helping extensively with this project. Here he is, already hard at work!

Coming back to the blog!

Planning to post more this year!  Can you believe no posts from 2014?  How sad.  It was a very busy year, and we'll post a synopsis here in 2015.  Stand by for more...
