Let The Construction Begin...

Well, the construction on the new enclosed sunroom/playroom has begun! It has been quite a process planning the room and getting the permits. The permit process was a beating and we had to get reports from structural engineers. It added a lot of expense and grief! The room will be about 16 x 12 feet and will add 186 square feet to our living space! I can't wait to have a place to put all of Tristan's toys too! We framed the foundation out last weekend and they will be coming to pour the concrete on Friday of this week. I will try to take pictures along the way and keep y'all posted on the progress! All I want to know is when can I decorate it???


The existing patio



The structural engineer required us to put three 6 feet piers in under the existing slab. These were quite a task to do. We rented an auger and it took three guys to control that thing. It was a little scary. Here is my father-in-law Harold, my Uncle Robert, and Shannon drilling the holes.
