The grid of the extension

I guess the big thing for mom and me in regards to "hope" is hoping that the extension we are having built on the back of mom's house will be done on time and that me moving in will be all that I hope it is.

Digging for the footers and the concrete slab

I am also hoping that the extension is bigger than it looks right now.  I keep telling myself that when I had my house built I never thought they were going to fit the three bedrooms, two baths, kitchen, laundry room and living room on that slab but they did.  I just keep having the positive attitude and making sure mom doesn't freak out too much!

To see everyone else's pictures head on over to The Studio Sublime and check it out.

  8. What an exciting time! I don't think you can build a house here (or an extension) without going down at least four feet - maybe it's six? Don't mind me it's just something I marvel at, the idea of sticking down a slab. I'm sure it will all come together
