A New Addition

Well, we have the beginning of a new addition to our family.  If you haven't heard, we are adding onto our house, and we are all extremely excited about it.
The first thing to go was our huge pine tree.  That was so neat to watch.





I think they were trying to aim the tree to fall at an angle towards our back fence, but it ended up falling towards our neighbors fence.  Everybody held their breath for a minute until we got the "thumbs-up" that the fence was still in tact and without injury (phew!).
Then after tearing the tree apart limb by limb they burned most of it and hauled off the rest of it.

The next couple of days were filled with plumbers, and people getting the foundation ready to pour cement. They'd work for about 2-3 hours then leave until the next day. 

We were so excited when they finally poured the cement 2 days ago--that time they were here ALL day even till it was dark.


Then yesterday they brought all the wood that will be used for the framework which they will start tomorrow.
