The addition!

Quite possibly the most exciting part to this renovation (other than heat, insulation, and a leak-free home) is the ADDITION we have built!  Remember the screened in porch off the living room on the lake side?  That is now enclosed and is our extended living room.  The living room before was tiny and awkward.  We are so much happier with this new space.  The entire lake side has windows and the ceiling is peeked like the ceiling that is in the existing living room.  It was a big project.  We also replaced the shingles on the roof of the house at this time (in only one day!).  Thanks Roof Guard!  This particular 'projects' hiccup?  We are unable to get heat vents past the line where the existing living room met with the screened in porch/new addition.  The heat runs under the house in the crawl space, and unfortunately there is a cement wall which we can't pass through to get a run/vent to the new addition.  Luckily with insulation, new windows, new roof, and extra vents in the old part, we should stay nice and toasty warm in the winters!
