Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I love January 1st! It's like you get a "do-over" each year. Everyone gets to look back on things you were great at and things you need to work on! Every year, we put money in our windows and make sure we eat pork and sauerkraut! The kids don't really eat that, but we do and we love it! We are winding down our Christmas break and really looking forward to this new year of change for us. It is this time of year that really makes you think of all of the wonderful people that have graciously stayed in our lives and the new ones that have entered. We are truly Thankful.

The house is really moving along quite nicely these days thanks to our amazing contractor and his crew! We couldn't be happier with our choice to pick Allen Pawl as our contractor! From the moment we met him, he saw our vision and made it happen for us. Feeling blessed! We would highly recommend him for all of your construction needs. This was a difficult choice for us, because we are or were DIY'ers we did all of the work in our previous homes while living in them and to turn over the reigns to someone else- that was hard- but our best decision.

The addition is under roof and the windows were installed!

I have to say- these guys and a girl-( yes Allen's wife jumped right in to help out and tell the guys what needed to be done)Are awesome- they worked in frigid temperatures and a horrible muddy mess! Mother nature was kind to us in Northeastern Ohio this November and December! There were only a handful of unbearable temp days and the rest were pretty mild.

Then today it was pouring on January 3rd and this is what we saw!

The area where the front porch is suppose to go, is completely filled with water! Kinda wishing it was snow and cold in January and not rain! We are under roof-the SNOW can come now!

Where the front porch is going to be. The Foyer is framed out and we have a new family room window!

Love the new roof too! Such a difference!

Standing in the kitchen looking into den where the new wall is ready for drywall!

Looking into Den- the new wall is up there too!
