Day 1 & 2 of Construction Project!!





Ok, let me first explain that when we built our house, because of how the lot was, we had to build the house pretty tall.. so from the floor of our garage to the top of the garage is extremly tall with a lot of space and potential. So, ever since we moved in (3 years ago), Austin and I have had the idea to build a loft for a playroom/gameroom in this space we have in the garage. See most houses in Washington do not have basements due to the water levels, so we don't have storage space, or food storage etc... and we thought it would be a great idea to use this extra space in the garage and build a loft with space for storage. So, we hired a contractor and Austin is taking a couple days off work and together they are building this loft. We are so excited and can't hardly wait to have this nice big room for the girls to have all their toys and play and to have a family space to play games, and not to mention have some nice storage space!


I posted pic's from day 1 and 2 of the project and its looking pretty good. Its very hard to explain how this is being built unless you see the space, but the first part of it will be pretty tall (about 10 ft from floor to ceiling), then their has to be a few steps up to another level which will only be about 5'6 from floor to ceiling, because we have to go above the garage door. We will build a wall for 1/3 of the room to be dedicated just to storage and food storage/pantry. The space will be such a great addition to our house and Tyler can hardly wait for her "play room". I will keep you all updated with more pictures as we get further along. Yea!!
