New Addition...

We never thought we would be adding on to this house. Yes it has only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. However, the plan was to have our home in Show Low sold and we would be building our "dream" home by now and about ready to move in. Since we haven't sold our house, nor plan on it happening for another year at least, and we don't think it is necessary to have 3 homes we have decided to just stick it out in this home and see if/when we when to build our "dream" home.

For now this is what we get, and I must admit I am really excited for it. Our current bedroom will become the twins room. You see, we are adding on a master bathroom. Our current garage is also our storage room and laundry room. We are converting this into an actual laundry room and food storage room that is going to be 14'x10' and the other part into our master bedroom which will be 14'x20'. It's a bit confusing on how it's all going to be set up, but with time pictures will help it make sense.

Here is Jerry, his dad and Kaysen getting the rebar and plumbing together so we could get our concrete poured for where our new bathroom will be.


On Friday morning at 6:00am the cement truck arrived to pour the concrete. Thank goodness Jerry has a willling Dad and brothers to lend a hand. They sure helped a ton!


Here is the little boy that LOVES cement trucks or anything construction and was completely content just watching the guys work. Our other little boy was sound asleep and missed out on most of the action, but that's okay. He would have been wanting to jump right in anyways.



Here is the finished product...well the finished concrete at least.

See that window? It is the window to our garage and will be getting knocked out in order to become the doorway from our master bedroom to the master bathroom.

Yesterday Jerry got all 3 walls up and Kasyen loved helping him tighten the bolts to make the walls stay up. Now we just pray that this horrible wind won't blow them all over. :) As of this morning they are still standing storng!!!

So this is our new addition, making room for our two new additions that will be here before we know it. We better get workin huh??? We'll keep you posted on the rest of the renovation, so that it can make a bit more sense.
