Exhausting...

That's what it is. A LOT of work, but progress is being made. I spent the evening cleaning up at the work-site, and am too tired to post more than a brief, but important note:

The foundations are poured! It was (note the past tense) beautiful today, so my work crew decided it was a great day to pour concrete. Unfortunately, it started raining while they were leveling it off, and it was pouring by the time it was done. Nevertheless, the task is accomplished and the addition is becoming a reality. Thanks Richard, Devin and David!

The almost 400 square feet will contain a garage/workshop on the ground floor, with a master bedroom suite above, complete with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. There will also be a small den. I like the name den, it sounds so much more promising than spare-bedroom. It could be a sewing room, or photo-album room (can't quite call it scrapbooking, since I don't really "scrapbook"), or anything I can think of. I think I really like the idea of an ironing room. At the moment my sewing machine sits on a desk in my bedroom, so sewing is already easy, but a room where I can just leave the ironing board and iron out ready to go at a moments notice sounds so nice. Then ironing the few things that need it does not seem such an ordeal. But who would want to call it ironing room? So I can call it a sewing room, and what is more natural than leaving the ironing board out while you are sewing? Thanks for joining me in my rambles tonight. Next I need to post pictures of my beautiful new windows...
