The amazing disappearing house!

The house remodel/addition is finally underway!  I'm planning to post photos periodically so you guys can see the progress.  Here are some before photos (the last one was taken after the trees were removed):




And here’s what the place looked like yesterday (3 weeks after signing the contracts):




The grading should be done soon and then we'll get a foundation!

Floor Plan

I’ve been meaning to start posting on my blog again, but I haven’t had anything interesting to say for a while.  Once we start the remodel I can post photos of the progress, but for now you’ll have to settle for looking at the floor plan. 

It seems like every time we talk to the architect he thinks that we’ll apply for permits in two weeks (it’s just like in The Money Pit!), so hopefully I'll have some updates soon!

R.I.P.

Gus Linnehan AKA “Little Mouse”
Born: December 23, 2010 in Brickway A Lower Level, Mark Young’s bottom desk drawer
Died: December 18, 2012 at his home in Sebastopol, CA
Gus was the sole survivor of his litter and lived a long (for a mouse) and pampered life with my parents until his recent illness.  His interests included running on his wheel, exploring their house under controlled conditions, and rearranging shredded toilet paper.  He maintained a lifelong (and carefully monitored) friendship with his three cat housemates.
