A New House-The Beginning #1 Long
After the events of 2005 my LOML and I decided we needed a wee bit more room as our 972 sq. ft. house was just not big enough for three adults and an eleven year old granddaughter.
Just as a refresher to those events, our middle son passed away in March and we became legal guardians of his daughter, Tama. At the beginning of August I went to SoCal, Hemet to be exact, and moved my mom back to live with us. She just turned 83 in October and is anxiously awaiting the delivery of her Chevy HHR so she can get around.
The orignal plan, two years ago, was to just add on to the existing house. Those plans quickly fell by the wayside as it was realized that a majority of the house would have to be upgraded.
After two weeks of moving into a storage container and into a rental house, demo began yesterday 1/10/06. Well, actually removal of certain items that will be re-used in the new home. Like windows, and exterior doors which are only about 5 years old, hot water heater [10/05] and heater and A/C units which are 5 years old. Heater and A/C will be sold as they are not big enough for the new home.
Here are some pix of the way the house WAS. Also, the 40' container that holds a lot of our stuff plus the windows and other stuff that is going to be re-used.
More udates as work progresses.
