Our house in progress....edited with pics from 7/9/06 on bottom of PAGE 2

Well, after almost a year in planning....architects, permits, finding contractors, etc....the remodeling has begun on our house. I can't wait til they take the roof off! We are dormering the front with a gable dormer and the back with a shed dormer to make a master suite in the upstairs area (easliy converted to 2 nice size BR's if we should sell the house). While, this certainly wasn't my dream house...we are on our way to making it "our" house. I will update this thread as the work progresses....it just started on Monday....here goes:

These are before pictures of the outside:

The upstairs is going to be a master suite...with a bedroom, walk-in-closet, bathroom and sitting room. It can easily be turned into 2 bedrooms if we sell the house. We made 2 entrances to the bathroom (1 from each room) also.
