Yesterday the builder did just a few small jobs. I think they needed more materials. Today they framed the bathroom. The door will be in the area on the left of the room so it doesn't open directly into the kitchen.
With the bathroom framed, you can see the breakfast nook. We will have a small table here where the two of us will probably eat most of the time. If we have more than 3-4 people we will use the dining room (the current living room.)
No blogs for a few days because we were off celebrating 1 year of wedded bliss! We had a wonderful time!!
While we were gone the past 4 days...the dormer is framed in and shingles are on the main part of the addition. They still need to shingle the dormer. I guess they are going to reshingle that side of the original roof too. Must be easier to do that than to try to patch the dormer in!
The rest of the rafters were put on today.
They are ready to start the dormer at the upstairs bedroom windows so there is enough height to make the windows into doors.
They did more work on the balcony today. I think they may be waiting on more posts to add support to the beams before they add the rafters. 
Hope they don't plan on using the duct tape to secure them in place!
We added more sheeting to the closet. We can't add anymore until the roof beams are added. Our builder will do the roof for the closet too.
We also worked on cleaning up the wood shed sight. Lots of nails were pounded out and the wood stacked for a friend who builds things out of old barn wood. There is a pile of debris left to clean up and an old carpet Dave had as a floor in there. 
They started working on the balcony today. However, it isn't quite right. In the bottom left of the photo you can see the risers for the stairs. At the top of the riser should be a landing, then more stairs going up to the right to the balcony level. Dave has a call in to the builder.
Two beautiful beams now span our living room and kitchen! There are stairs that we can actually use to get around in the addition...
from the kitchen to the living room...
from the basement to the kitchen...
and from the basement to the living room.
This will be the stairs from the basement to the living room.
The temporary stairs between the pantry and the living room basement.
The stairs from the pantry up to the kitchen.
Dave dug the trench on the west wall this morning. After brunch we put in the treated plywood below ground level. The opening on the bottom right is to put in a door for access under the closet.
On the north wall we put up one piece of the sheeting. Dave worked way too hard today and went to bed exhausted. 
There was no post yesterday because we were off having fun!!!! All work and no play, makes Dave and LaDonna crabby! So we went down to Big Sky Resort, went to a concert and stayed at a fancy resort hotel.
Mission Mountain Wood Band was the warm-up band.
But we really went to see the Doobie Brothers!!!!! It was an awesome show!!!
