Tearing Down and Building Up

This week at Zelda was a tearing down and building up time. We tore down the roof over the kitchen and built a second floor addition on top. This addition will eventually become a master bath and closet.

News on the foundation or rather no news on the foundation. The Contractor we hired to level the floors did not show up to do the work this week so that has been put off for another week. Tune in next time for more on this saga of the Contractor and the floors.

Other work went on at Zelda like nails removed from wall boards and bathroom tile and walls removed. We also took off the carpet on the stairs. All this work was done by a crew outside in 100 degree heat. The crew consist of my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law, my husband, my daughters, and myself. Next week rafters on the new addition and more plaster removel and maybe flooring work starting. We will keep you informed.

Over the weekend we found some chandeliers at Lowes for 50%-75% off and bought them. I know we are a long way from puting them up but the price was right and sometimes to pays to think ahead instead of waiting until you need it. So you avoid getting something that you don't really like because it was cheaper then the one you really wanted. Besides, you need the fixture sooner or later.
