Prep for more footings

After church on Sunday we had a general clean up session and then preparations began for more footings that will be poured on Wednesday with the garage floor.

Here are a few action pictures of Halsey on his tractor tearing down the wall where the future door to the future mudroom will be.

Halsey cut away the asphalt driveway next to the house to dig a ditch for the footing.

Here it is, late afternoon and the footing is ready for Wednesday.

On this day, here is the front of the house.  We have moved all of the lumber behind the house so that the front looks very clean.  We have even put down some annual winter rye grass seed so perhaps we can have a little bit of ground cover in a week or two.

(Unless it snows!!)

Moving inside, the afternoon light streams into the new kitchen space and we are looking forward to having much more natural light in our kitchen.

The side door remains intact for now.

Here is the view from inside the new kitchen looking out toward the driveway and back yard, through what will be the new screened-in porch.  The picture on the right shows the rest of the screened-in porch.
