Will the destruction ever end?

Today we got our first peak at the project after being out of town for the weekend (Thanks - we had a great time!!!) What I expected to see was the new trusses that were in the driveway last week all framed up and a new roof on the bridges - not the case. I guess there was some heavy winds and rain while we were gone so construction of this sort was not safe.

Not one to sit idle (thank goodness!) The contractor and his team of "beat-things-downers" decided to lay into some of the other areas of he house that had yet to come down (exciting!!!) The wall between the office and the hallway was torn down, totally opening up the space.













The next exciting hole was the loss of the enclosing walls around the front stairwell. This really opened up the space and makes walking up the stairs less like walking into a tunnel. (Maybe a new skylight in here someday, hmmmmm.)











In contrast to the additional destruction we were happy to see the blown in insulation cover the exterior walls quite nicely.










And if the insulation wasn't enough -- we have 'some' floors!!










I wonder what tomorrow will bring...?
