Day number two of construction!
I came home from work and found that the patio and arbor were demolished. Here’s what the back of the house looks like now:
This is view from behind the garage, looking towards the dining room.
This is a view that shows pretty much the area of the addition. It will begin where the house meets the garage on the right, and span the rear of the house to about the location of the present gas meter. (The gas meter will be moved.) The left side of the addition will have a small porch with a sliding door that will lead onto an L-shaped patio (that will wrap the addition.)
Good stuff!
