Expanding kitchen window

Standing in the space Friday, we decided that it would be a better visual to have the opening window looking into the kitchen to wrap around the wall, giving a more open, visual effect.

Framing Kitchen

Interior of original building starting to take shape. Walls framed, most of electrical in. 

Pouring foundation

Lots of cement trucks today pouring the foundation. Everything seems to be on scheduale.

Guys laid the plumbing today for the new dining area and restrooms. Inspection tomorrow and then they pour the new cement slab for dining and patio. 

New supports

John and the guys did a great job this week repairing and replacing the 45 year old wood supports to the original building. We will be painting with a weather treated stain to match the original, darker and weathered wood that was saved. Whatever wood was not saved is being given to a local charity to be refurbished. 

Demolition begins

Guys were out there all last week tearing up the old tile patio, stripping out the old interior, basically making the place look like someone blew up a few kegs of dynamite. Amazing what a backhoe can do in a day. Wish I knew how to operate one of those.
