New Room Layout

Hmm.... I'm on track to only owe about $160k by the time I'm 50, so that's... could be better...

Noice... when will it be finished?

They'll be starting in "mid may" so, late may. And it'll take about "2 months" so, 12 weeks. Would be nice if it was done by mid July for the school summer holidays.

There's optimism for you!

Hope it all goes well - don't forget to post pics...

That's exciting! Here's hoping for a smooth and uneventful build process!

They just finished the flooring today, and the walls were painted yesterday. So it's been good progress lately! The sharks with lasers on their foreheads will go in next week.

I like the little wooden shed.

I like the little wooden shed.

That's the live room.

[WhiskeyJack]

I'm glad you guys got to the tiny shed punchline before i did.

*insert generic hobbit jokes here*

[rayc]

The Welsh don't agree to Hobbits - they're bred specially to fit in the mines with no bending. I suspect the shed is part live room and part small dark space orientation chamber.

JD stole his front door from a suburban american elementary school.

That's actually my wood/bin shed

This is probably the most savage take down i've ever seen you put on these boards and i am just so thankful i got to live to read it.,

All kidding aside JD that looks like a massive friggin job. What exactly are they doing here? Are thyegonnado that thing where they deatch the roof and rasie it up higher to add a story?


Also there aren't words for how uncomfortable i am and how my stomach flopped when i saw how close that car is parked to scaffolding. Maybe i've been on too many construction sites in my day and ive seen too much shit fall from those but, you ain't gonna catch me parking a car under that stuff.

Scaffolding is finished now

[musicturtle]

That's pretty exciting @JD01!

Hope it all goes well.

[Armistice]

Be interested to see the roofline once it's all done.

Changing the roof to be a gable end, sticking a huge dormer on the back and putting new stairs in. This'll give us 3 new rooms upstairs.

Sick.

Do you guys have alot of burecratic red tape to go thru to do that? Do you have ot have an architect and engineer sign off the plans and shit?
