Do things have to get worse before they get better? It’s a good thing!

Immediately after purchasing the home in Campbell for Amy & Stephanie plans started for the addition that would make the house an even better purchase.  We broke ground on Thursday, May 9 with what will be a new master bathroom and a nice closet for Amy.

 

It's only 200 sq. ft!

When we arrived on Thursday this is what I saw in the front yard!  Really! I was thinking a small tractor thing to dig the small hole that will be the 200 sq. ft. that we are adding.

That was day 1 or the 2013 remodel!  Construction can be messy but the process is really fun.  Everyday we arrive to see what progress our Contractor has had.  Many days this week the progress was lots more digging but soon the forms went in.

While Joe is working hard, we are going about our days working on details of the project.  Paul has scheduled the PG&E repair for this weekend with PG&E and the City of Campbell for inspections.  Hopefully all goes well and we have new power on Monday.  I have been shopping for new bath features and Carpeting for the entire house.  We do take breaks to get out and enjoy the fabulous weather in Campbell.  I golfed 3 times this week – not very well but I did enjoy the walk!  We even got out for a SJ Giants game – Love the hot dogs and beer!
