Yep, they started our addition on Tuesday by digging a hole for the foundation! In order to move the washer and dryer into the house from the garage (the garage is a clean one, but......) and have windows in the bedroom (other than that interesting one in the closet?!??!) we decided to add on 12 feet to the end of the house. Our framing contractor, Peter Harrison of PM Construction, started the work and it was another one of those "there's no turning back now" moments. He's been a great help all around. We had our first inspection and it went well! Yay! They built the forms for the footing and foundation yesterday and are really moving along. We passed the second inspection today so we are ready for the pour at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow!!

| The first forms are ready to go. |

| Protecting the top, and not so top, soil from the rain! What rain!?!? Oh yeah, we live in the NW, there's a lot of it here! |
 |
| Well, there were a few sun breaks earlier in the day! Brrrr. These guys are troopers! |
 |
| Ready for inspection! |

Now we are an official construction site! A real 20 yd dumpster! Bet our neighbors will be glad when it leaves.
Actually, they are all really understanding and supportive. Nice! |
