Remodel, day 17

Today there was actual CONstruction, as opposed to only DEstruction. It was terribly exciting. Yesterday they poured the concrete footings for the support structure; they aren't doing a full dig for a wall foundation since that would be prohitiviely expensive and this is something they can do because of the small size of the addition. And today they put down the beams and floor joists as well as the bottom floor layer. Tomorrow the asbestos abatement guys come to take the flooring away, and then the project can kick into gear. We've had to hold on for a lot of things till that floor comes out.

We're having weekly meetings, too, and it really feels like things are happening. I simply could not envision what things would look like, the scale of the thing, until now, and it's freaking gigantic. To most people living in a larger house, it probably seems piddly, but they haven't even put the little landing porch on, and it seems like it's almost all the way out to the garage.
( Progress! )
