Day 1

So, I am considering this Day 1. I set this week aside to pack up the back half of my house to get it ready to be demo-ed next week.  I took a few more before pictures.

Here's the front of the house. It will look different when we are done because there will be a second story you will be able to see from the front peaking out from the back.

Here is our back patio. This is where the new addition will be and the patio will be added back on at the end. In the winter it is a catch all place for crafts, scout stuff, school projects, laundry, etc. I am in the process of sorting and packing everything on the patio so that they can take the cover off and open up the wall of the kitchen. I got about halfway through the patio today. Tomorrow I tackle crafts and paints and scout stuff...Those windows you see are kitchen windows.

In the summer the patio is usually all cleaned up and we eat outside for dinner and hang out by our above ground pool that is only up in the summers. We plan to be able to do this again since we will have them re-add the patio back on to the addition.

Here is the drive way. It goes all the way from the street into our detached garage (this view is facing the street). We use the space for our pool in the summer and then Daisy plays on it the rest of the year and we have a basketball hoop. We also store fire wood there for camping and our fireplace. Not sure how we will use it after the addition since the area will be formatted a little different and the door to get there will be moved...We'll have to wait and see :).
