After
refinancing our house and doing a lot of number crunching, John and I decided
to accept a load from my parents and to do our Phase 2 home addition that we’d
dreamed of doing since we bought the house.
We didn’t want to carry any additional debt on the house but the stars
kind of aligned and we figured it would be better to do it now, rather than
later when we would have 2 kids in a construction zone.
Our first
call was to the great architect and contractor we worked with on our first
addition. We talked about what we had in
mind and things started rolling. We
decided to add on a master bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom to the back of
the house. This added 400 square feet to
our house. It took up the existing patio
area so our back lawn wasn’t affected much.
This was important to us so that Nala and our kids would have plenty of
room to run around.

We found a
rather large lizard on the patio while we were cleaning everything to prep for
demo
Demo began
July 25th
Trenches dug
for forms – July 26th
Forms – July
27th
I just about
died laughing when I walked out onto the back porch and spotted Nala stuck in
the new formed off area. She was able to
jump in off of the back steps but didn’t know how to get out. She was just waiting patiently for someone to
come save her.
