More house photos

Filed under: General, The Money Pit — Tim @ 10:19 pm

We’ve updated the photo gallery with some more house photos. The drywaller has been here the last two days installing walls. It’s beginning to look like a room in there. “Check it out”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-03/Framing2/ .

Water Tight

Filed under: General — Tim @ 7:13 pm

Well, we got a “roof”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-03/Roof/ today, just in time for the rains. It’s supposed to rain tonight, in fact. A good test. For pictures of it, and the finished plumbing and shower pan (exciting probably to only us) see our photo album. http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-03/Roof/

The Addition

Filed under: General, The Money Pit — Tim @ 7:18 pm

The addition is coming along nicely. It’s pretty much enclosed now. The sliding glass doors and the windows are in place. The Walls are all up, and we got the go ahead to shingle the roof from the framing inspector. The only issue is there’s no stucco on the outside, and it’s supposed to rain this weekend. We may get a little wet. Is it supposed to rain this much in southern California?

The electrician was here yesterday and today. Yesterday they goofed up and unhooked our guest bedroom light. We had to haul a lamp in from the garage. That worked out OK, and it’s not a big deal since they fixed it today. They also goofed with the bathroom switches and now the light switch turns the fan on and vice versa. Oh well, easy to fix. Here’s some of the latest “pictures”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-03/Framing2/ .

Here’s a teaser.

Holy Crap (the house)

Filed under: General, The Money Pit — Tim @ 7:41 pm

Woah! We got home today and our house had a gaping hole in it. We were expecting it it to happen, but it’s still a shock when you walk into your bedroom and it’s part of the out of doors. The worker stripped all the stucco off the outside today, and took out all the windows. Now it’s a serious remodel.

Slab Poured

Filed under: General, The Money Pit — Tim @ 8:01 pm

We got our slab poured for the addition today. It also poured rain on the poor guys while working. They got the thing all tented up to protect it from stray water while curing. The back yard is a muddy mess…. yuk! Of course we took some photos. Check them out “here”:http://www.labrodeurs.org/photos/2005-03/Construction/.
