Day 19 - The workers dropped off some heavy equipment to get started on some heavy brickwork. We moved out of our bedroom so that the work could begin on the laundry room and hallway that will connect to our new room.
Day 20 - lots of people were very busy today - plumbing, HVAC, framers, brick masons
Oh, and Emma thought it would be fun to play with the curtains while I took pictures outside:
Day 21: Perhaps the most invasive that this construction has gotten: all the windows have gone in, including the relocation of 2 old windows. Emma's shower now has an odd (but secure) paper shield where the window used to be. Let me explain why it's so secure and why we need this addition to the house: our builder didn't even know there was another full bathroom in our house. That's how small the bathroom is that we've been using for 18 months. So he thought this was the only shower and it needed to be super-tight on the temporary window seal...this also explains why the tub was actually quite clean when I glanced in there. Nice guy didn't want to leave us with sawdust and tile shards in the tub. Emma appreciates it.
Old windows out, old windows in:
In other news, we had a Sunday School class picnic this morning, and I was awakened by monsoon rains. Not what we were going for. However, we reserved the park shelter (think $$) and everyone had already bought food (again, $$), but by the time we got there, not one drop of rain fell afterwards.
Emma was a little overwhelmed by all the people, but she managed to get back into character for her favorite activity at this park: the "swide."
