The trusses are here!!


So, at last, it looks like a real addition!  The trusses arrived Wednesday and Bill, being completely fascinated by the crane delivery (so much better than the old days)  couldn't resist taking a video of them being unloaded!  I'll try to get it loaded here soon, but for now you'll have to settle for these three still photos of the changes.  The spaces are feeling good!  We'll see what happens when all the drywall, appliances and cabinetry goes in, but for now we are happy!  We ordered the windows yesterday (seawolf or colonial red, colonial red or seawolf, what shall we do?), and hired the HVAC contracotr, plumber and electrician today, so it has been a busy, but in a good way.  Enjoy!

Since you haven't seen a picture of the front of the house for a while I thought
I would include one.  The only part of the addition you can see from the front
is a west facing wall peaking above the garage roof in the upper right of the picture.


Up go the trusses!  Great fit.  At last, it feels like a house again!

This is the new southeast corner of the house.  The lower area is an extension
of the bedroom and the master bath and the upper is the covered porch off
the guest bedrooms/office and an extension of a bedroom making room for
a decent bathroom upstairs.
