Yellow House loaded to the Rafters!

"Must expand!" says Bizzy!

After spending much of the summer (July) moving from Plymouth House to Yellow House, we discovered that Yellow House was smaller by 250 square feet. We poured the back patio with the intent of expanding on the back, pouring the concrete with footers, etc. The idea was to build on next year.

After moving, however, we decided it was necessary to expand this year. As you can see in this picture, the walls were just going up in early September, right after Labor Day. We are now close, with roof done, drywall and siding nearly completed and only final trim out on the electric and flooring to be completed in the next couple of weeks.

This will give us nearly 500 added square feet, taking our little cottage from 1550, to 2030 square feet. As Bizzy says, "We needed the extra cushion against the cold Indiana winters!" Yes, Bizzy's gas stove will be installed in the back corner to better warm the room.

More completed pictures to follow.
