The Before Pictures




Today I snapped a few "Before" pictures of the garage.  I anticipate it filling up during the construction process, so this may be my last chance.  It is raining today, thus the bicycles are parked in here, but usually those are on the front patio.  It is a pretty tidy place, all things considered.

The guy from Edison was here today to look at our existing panel and give final approval for our electricians to move forward with the upgraded panel.

After the panel, we are hoping to break ground with the impending game room addition.  All our permits are in order.  We just need to make our final decision on flooring.

I can not wait for the construction to be complete.  It will be so wonderful to have the added room...but let me be very clear, I am DREADING the process.

I have been frantically cleaning, sorting and donating boxes of extra stuff in an attempt to get a handle on our unused items.  Which you know is a challenge for me since I am such a hoarder.

Wish me luck on getting through the rest of my junk, and keeping my sanity in tact.

Our Plans Revised

Approval from the city!

We made a few changes: no pitched roof for the garage and French doors out the back of the bonus room instead of windows.

The electricians came by on Saturday. Only two weeks till they get started on the new electrical panel.

Super excited to move forward on our project!



Here's a picture of the grass plot next to the house where the new bonus room will go.

Our Very First Plans



In our nearly two decades together Dr. T and I have shared a lot of firsts.  In the beginning of our marriage it happened with regular frequency.  To the point where we didn't take too much notice.  Well now, it's actually been awhile since we've had something come up.  But this week such an event occurred.  He came home and said "It's our very first plans!"  Architectural plans, that is, the real deal. 
Yesterday, Dr. T and our architect (that doesn't sound snooty at all) took our plans to the city.  Hopefully, we'll hear back soon with approval to add on a game room to the first floor of our house....cause I'd like to have my garage back.
