The Spring started off as usual. High hopes for a new garden. The raised beds were formed in what we thought would be a good location but having never lived through anything like this before, we soon learned that they had to go....
Even the grill had to move.
The furniture never went onto the deck or patio this Spring.
Very soon the landscape we knew was going to be gone.
And in its place bricks, blocks and boards.
We also learned that construction means dirt- lots of it. Our builder has moved some to the front as the base of an island bed we want to install.
Our basement family room is gong to be HUGE. Mom and I are dreaming of the craft area we will have!
Some outside views.
What was a guest bedroom will become a bathroom. The carpet was torn out. The door will disappear.
The shower was roughed in.
The fireplace was removed and will be relocated to the basement.
We are living in a bubble. We put furniture in the dining room before walling it in with plastic.

Sue! Wonderful to see a post, but I can certainly see why you aren't committing to more just now.
How wonderful that you are able to add on to your home and create a lovely spot for your mom to have some privacy and a space to call her own. My sister and I are always wondering about our mother who is currently living with my sis. Thing is, my sister is moving and my mother isn't. Oh dear! We'll figure it out somehow with God's help.
You're teaching online classes? How cool is that?! Feel free to share more about that one.
Take care, my friend. Looking forward to the day when we see more of you!
Oh wow! Chaos central, LOL! Keep thinking of it as a building "adventure" and you'll get through it OK! It will be just beautiful on the other side of the mess.
Looks like we're in the same kind of mess. However, we've been working on ours for almost 7 years. Fortunately, we don't live in it, so we feel less hurried to finish the job, although I'm definitely ready to get it all done. Looking forward to your decorating pictures.
