Big inspection coming on Tuesday. If we pass, and we should, then they start busting walls out to move into our existing structure. That being said, most of today was spent packing up two bedrooms and our family room and moving everything into our dining room. With a successful inspection will also come the start of the brickwork (hopefully on Tuesday) and the start of installing drywall (hopefully on Wednesday). We have been told it won't take long to tear out the back wall that will now lead from the existing structure to the new one, and frame out the new entrance. One side of the back-to-back closets will be closed in and made into one larger closet in Clayton's new bedroom. The desk and cabinets will be moved into the expanded area of the family room. Lots more to come on that over the next couple of days.
The front porch was finally completed late this afternoon...or as completed as it can get at this point. It still needs to have the brickwork placed around the posts, which should happen as soon as we pass inspection. The handrails will be installed at that time as well. Since it is too cold to paint, that will have to wait for a warmer week. Staining the flooring will have to wait until spring. The overhead light should be in within three weeks and, with a little luck, the new front door will be installed before the end of the week.
The contractor still feels like we can be finished within three or four weeks. My money is still on five or six weeks, but I will be more than happy to be proven wrong.
