Welcome to the Thompson House Remodel!

I though I would start this blog so that family and friends can see the progress...especially those who live far away.  We finally started Thursday, August 25th, 2011!  I think it's been 2, maybe 3 years from the initial concept.  We will go from a 3 bedroom, 2 bath to a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath and have a brand new kitchen!  We are so excited!  I will try to do updates every week.  I'm at least going to take pictures once a week so that we can see the progress later down the road...and laugh at how we had to live during construction.

The house before construction.

Another view, before construction.

The sewer pipe had to be moved.  C.E.T. is backfilling the trench.
What were the other two doing?  Watching TV and playing a video game...it figures!

After grading.  Some of the siding comes off the house.

They guys pouring concrete.

Concrete is poured!

Form boards come off on Labor Day.

In the last seven days, they have set the grade, dug the holes for the footings and poured the concrete for the foundation.  Whew!  A lot of hard work and sweat during the last two weeks!  The weather did cooperate by only being the the 80's....yes, it's been another "cool" summer.
