A Time-line of the construction

( I'm trying to update it at least once a week so come back again from time to time to check on our progress.)

Click on the pictures below for even more photos for that date.

About the Builder (Plan 'B'):  Ok, so here's the thing.  I had to change builders on the project.  It took a long time but we're back!  The new builder is "Loeffler Construction".  The project manager is Gary Loeffler.  It's really not a big company.  Gary seems to be very meticulous about his work.  I'm much happier with this guy.
