Just a quick one --

It's so cold outside that I've not had time to do more than a couple of really quick shots.  Will try to get into the new part of the house (isn't it awesome that I can say that??) sometime next week for more.

But here's where we're at now, complete with a "ceiling" over the kitchen/mudroom!

This is the view from the south side of the house, looking at the family room addition.  Where you see the blue wall is where our fireplace will be; the small windows on either side will sit above the built-ins that will surround the fireplace.

And this is just a look at the back of the addition (or most of it, about 1/4 of the family room is obscured by the ever-present dumpster).  We've got three big windows facing the back yard in the family room.  The two doors lead to the mud room (one will eventually connect to the garage...  eventually.)

We've had steady snow all day today though little accumulation.  Next week is supposed to continue to be very cold; I'm not sure what that means for getting the crew over here.  I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers!  It will be so nice when everything is enclosed & weather isn't such an issue.

Stay warm everybody!
