what was i thinking?!


This is the back of the house. The foundation for the new addition will be in that gigantic hole.
This used to be our backyard. Now it's a gravel ramp.
Living room window-making it a bay instead
Our closet that will now be the stairs to get UPstairs.

We are only adding a bay window downstairs in the living room and then in our bedroom the closet is getting torn out to make way for the stairs. The kitchen and the rest of the main level SHOULD be staying the same.

YOu were thinking...OH MY GOD, this is going to be SO worth it in a few short (long) months. And from the plush palace you have at your parents, I say put the house on the market, and stay in the basement.
