My New House

In the past month, Jillian's home has undergone a big change. With a new baby on the way, it was time to either move to a bigger house, or increase the size of the current house. Since we liked our location, we decided on a big remodel that would double the size of our house.

Uncle Davey and Grandpa Ken began just a few weeks ago, starting with removing the old attached garage. After that was out of the way, in came the excavator to dig out the dirt for the new foundation. It only took a couple days before footings and a stemwall were in place. Shortly after that, the floor joists went in. Now, we're waiting for an inspection before the floor goes down and the walls go up. In the meantime, parts of the roof have been removed (since the entire roof needs to be removed soon). Uncle Clark has been over helping, too. Mostly, he and Daddy just try to not slow down Uncle Davey and Grandpa Ken too much.

Whenever Jillian sees the new parts of the house, she stops and looks around, kind of wondering what's happening. Then, she calls it "my new house".
