Construction - Part One

We decided to close in our back patio to make more space for baby boy Yost. I thought I'd post some pictures as the construction progresses. The weekend before construction started was so busy with family in town and Kaitlin's birthday party that we forgot to take any "before" pictures so I'm using some from Kaitlin's party. If you can imagine the top two pictures side by side, you can get an idea of what it looked like before.

Day 2:
They put our door in the woods.














Now we have ply wood :(














They also cleared out the grass for our new patio.

Day 9:
After 9 business days, nothing much has changed. A couple little things have gotten done here and there, but construction has pretty much been at a stand still for the past week due to weather, standing water, and waiting on windows to come in. I have to admit I'm getting a little stir crazy. The plywood and darkness in my kitchen would be a lot easier to handle if I could see some progress outside. Hopefully work will get started again soon!
