Disappearing Wall

Since last week some of the windows have been installed - including the one in our bedroom, which is much appreciated as we've had some pretty frosty nights lately. Only some windows have been done, since they sent the rest with the wrong color trim on the outside. The window man is here today to take them back and get it changed though, so maybe there will be a picture after all the windows are installed soon.

Meanwhile, the wall between the family room and the addition has come down (a VERY noisy process - so glad that pocket door got fixed so we could escape just a little from the banging)! So here are 3 photos - before any destruction in the family room, with just the (former) deck door removed (the orange tarp providing a slight barrier to the cold), and last with the wall itself gone! It is much lighter with the wall gone - it may not be such a dungeon after all!

All the furniture from the family room has been put in various other rooms temporarily - the computer is hooked up in the living room for now (whew). The big hole in the floor between the family room and the addition is where the ramp will go from the main floor level down into the sunken family room. Click on the first picture and you can just make out the blue sign that have been on that door since the beginning of July - "BIG HOLE - NO EXIT!"
