WE HAVE FOOTINGS!

Been listening to a jack hammer and pounding all day long- scared poor Maya to death and caused her to take a less than long enough nap today (which may be the reason she is in meltdown mode right now...)but this is the end result- FOOTINGS! Jake is standing in one of the trenches and it is almost as deep as he is tall!

This picture is just to make the builder inspector of the family (love you daddy!)cringe- it's a picture of our electrical panel- the people we bought this house from had started a remodel and replaced a bunch of old wiring but never quite got it to the electrical box...can you believe we have lived here for this long with that hassard in our garage??? Stupid, I know- I will never forget showing the house to my dad for the first time and having him tell me we was not comforatble with his grandchildren living here- hmm grandchildren? What am I? chopped liver? What about your favorite daughter named Janalee?

This blog is to journal about the remodel/addition of our Hazelwood House. We are adding 1300 square feet of glorious living space which we desperately need.

This is our house- This picture was taken just minutes before this happened...

The garage is gone and we are underway! When the guys started ripping into the garage I seriously thought I was going to throw up- We are so excited to get the remodel/addition done but it is a huge undertaking with a family of seven still trying to live here as we go. Things are going to be crazy for the next few months for sure.

The one lone semi wall is our current electrical panel so it stays put until we are ready to wire the new part of the house.

This is the back of the house, the porch is gone and they have actually begun to dig the footing and plumbing trenches- if you look close you will see our first accident- a ladder through the kitchen window which is now duct taped- good thing it is coming out in a couple months!
