Day Three!

Day three was quite a day. I did the demo job on the window to get ready for the door to the new bedroom. Finally at about 7:00pm I thought I was ready to set the door. Boy was I wrong....With the helpful eye of my wonderful bride, she pointed out that I was trying to install the door on top of the seal plate. Not a good idea unless you plan to put down some 2 inch shag carpet. Not gonna happen here. I hope to get the door installed on Monday and then move on to getting the last wall put up. End Day Three!

No Progress!

Well, there was not progress last night 4-19-07. I had some other things to do. I start vacation this weekend and I plan to get most of the work done next week.... if all goes well.

Framing Day 2!

Well, the second day of framing went Great! I got the last 10 feet of the first wall done plus the 20 foot wall section. I have one wall to do and it will be a tough one, I have an existing window to take out and then I can frame the last wall and tie it to the existing structure. This is a ton of fun.

Easter Pictures

This is Emma and Eli at church on Easter Sunday. These are the best Kids in the world. I am a little partial since they are mine.

After the first evening of framing!

I finally got started with the framing of our new bedroom/bath. I was not sure how much I would get done. I started as soon as I got home and ate Dinner. With Daylight savings it is surprising how much daylight you have in the evening. I got the first wall section up and that lit the fire that I needed to get the rest of the framing done. Progress is Great!

Room construction

This blog will be the ramblings of a guy trying to build a new master bedroom and bath.

On April 17th, 2007 we started framing our new room. At the end of the first evening I managed to pull the trim off the house and open the soffit to attach the new wall. I have framed a 7 foot section and hope to finish the framing of the exterior walls by 4-22-07. I am on vacation the week of April 23rd and I hope to set the trusses and get the decking on. Once the shell is done we are going to save more money to finish the inside.
