Home Addition Project

Sorry there haven't been any updates in a while. We've been really busy working on an addition to the Hadley House. It all started over the summer with a Sunday dinner conversation with Kristen about how to add space to our house (we have the same floor plan). At first we didn't think about it much because we honestly don't need the space right now but seeing as how we plan to add another child to our family in the future, we really could use another bedroom and bathroom upstairs. So after much thought and soul searching, we hired an architect (who happens to live in our neighborhood and whose son is in James' class at school). We went over several ideas with him and after a few meetings, decided on a design. We're going to add a full bath over the entryway and a new bedroom over the dining room as well as a closet for the game room.

After we had the design set, we went in search of a builder. After interviewing five builders and receiving all the bids, we made our choice and signed the contract. At this point, we're in the final stages of closing on the home improvement loan. We should sign the papers and construction should begin on the 26th. I'll be sure to post before pictures and keep you updated during the construction process. Since the entire front section of our house will be under construction, we'll be relocating to my parents' house up in Copperfield until the work is completed. We've been told it would take between 4 and 6 weeks so hopefully we'll be all done and back in our house by the first week in December.
