Lights are on but no one is home (yet!)
They've rigged up some temporary lighting in the basement so they can work down there. I know it's only temporary but it's kinda cool to see lights on in our house! ;-). The styrofoam layer on the basement floor is all down now, and I believe they are ready for the concrete pour.
The square cement structure on the left is the foundation for what will be the deck next to the kitchen. You know - where we'll sit in the morning eating our breakfast, reading the newspaper, and watching the deer eat apples from our trees :-). The footings in the forefront will be the foundation for the extension of the deck past the laundry room. The laundryroom will have one of those cool split doors (the kind where you can keep the bottom half closed but open the top half) that will open onto the deck.
Our TV room will be in the sunken area where the wood covered in plastic is sitting.
The temporary wooden railings mark where the staircase to the basement level will be. And in the far upper right is where our bedroom will be located.
I even laid down on the spot where our bed will eventually be and watched the clouds drift by and a hawk circle overhead (and apparently, Tim captured the moment on camera :-))
Here are some more pictures of the progress made this week.
