Making Space

Our attempts to make our little home last us as long as possible have driven us to jack up the garage 8" (done), raise the floor 6" (yet to happen), and add a small addition on the back so we can get our bikes, lawn mower, stroller and wagon in at the same time as the van. This handy little addition will also have a man door so we can have access to those items without having to move the van out of the garage.

The addition's foundation was dug by my dad while our dear ones visited from the west, and concrete poured the next week.

Then my Dear Man's dad helped with framing on the May long weekend.

Since then we've also done most of the siding on the addition, put on the roof, and made some amendments to the play spaces in the yard. Progress is steady.
