Alright I admit I am really terrible about blogging!

Alot of things have been going on around here and I seem to totally forget about this. Well now that christmas is over, I figure I could write a little about what we have been doing to our house. We are doing a big remodel to our house. We are adding a 2 car garage with rooms above. Yhe bottom floor has to entryways added, one to the bottom floor and one to the upper floor. There is also a half bath in the garage. And along the back is my laundry room/ pantry. Upstairs will be a bedroom, office, bathroom, sewing room(yeah!), and another family room. We will turn our old bedroom into a room for our oldest and paint the room our girls now share for our younger girl.

All this started the middle of november, a little late I know but that is when we finally got the loan. We had 3 very large trees cut down in our front and side yard. 2 were pine trees that were becoming a danger. One strong gust of wind and they would have hit our house. I was actually afraid when high winds were coming. Several neighbors had had this happen recently. We also had a maple taken down, it was rotting and in the way of the new addition. But not to worry, we still have at least 20 in the back yard!

I can tell you it was amazing how they can cut these trees down and not hit the powerlines or the house! It was totally worth the money to have professionals do them. They cut 3 trees down and ground up the stump to the maple in 1 day! They came back another day and ground up the pine stumps.

Well I will start another post and put pictures of the tree cutting up. And it is amazing that the amount of light we get now!
