    I never got around to posting any pictures of the addition we built on our house over the last two years. It took twice as long as anticipated but we're finally done lol. It's also one of the main reasons I wasn't on here much. Between the build and adding a second piney to the family during it, i didn't have much free time. I won't be able to post all the pictures at once but I'll try to keep adding them as often as I can

    We started off by tearing down our old laundry/mud room, removing the deck that was to the left of it and demoed the old basement entrance. Then the foundation dig could begin.

    Interior demo in existing part of the house. Insulation and electric going in. I love plaster! :hair::headbang:. On the plus side, i did find an old hammer someone left in the wall during one of the previous projects from who knows how long ago. :thumbs:
