| Here, we've dug a hole for a proper foundation. |
 |
| We tore off the bumped-out section because it wasn't really useful the way it was and had practically no foundation. |
 |
| This is what was serving as the "foundation" for that part of the house. It was a porch stoop, a large pantry closet, and a tiny storage cupboard. |
 |
| The footer, with gravel in place for a French drain. |
 |
| Laying block. This space is accessible through a trap door in the floor. |
 |
| Tarred and feathered. Looks like dad's checking for level. |
 |
| My brother, working on the floor joists. |
 |
| The new bump-out is built and now we're starting the dormers. |
 |
| One of those small square windows will later be replaced with a larger one. It was a bit of work we weren't expecting, but it ended up being for the better. |
 |
| Dad may have been kicking himself for suggesting them because they were a monstrous amount of work, but the difference they made, both inside and out, made it all worthwhile! |
 |
| Prepping for shingles! |
