Up Up And Away!

House has been a wee bit stubborn about lifting off.  Dino has been working HARD.  He has given a lot of hours and endured some severe pain on his not-quite-healed achilles injury.  But after several battles, house finally gave in today.

Before

After
Yup.  That IS a 100 year old, 3 story, 2700 square foot house 2 feet up in the air.  You can see right through to the other side.


Hey.  Wait.  Is that a crib in my kitchen??



And I seem to remember a fireplace in the den...



Oh!  Found it!!



Now this is how you hang a door!



The kids are checking out the future rec room.


Thank-you Dino for your willingness to take this on and create our dream home.  
We love you!!
