A long-awaited present!

Once again, I must apologize for my tardiness in keeping up my blog. But I think most of you will understand once you know what has been going on at my house. My husband and I have always loved our home and the area that we live in. The biggest complaint that I've had is that I wish I had more storage and a larger sewing room. Well - we are in the process of fixing that! Earlier this month, we started the construction of my new sewing room!
 
To prepare for this addition, I've had to dig up and/or transplant all of my flowers and plants around the back side of our house. Since our initial starting date was the last two weeks of September, I chose to do this during the "coolest" days I could find in July & August.
 
I've spent many hours watching and learning from the men working on our new room. I did warn them up front that I'm curious and ask lots of questions! We have a great contractor and crew foreman because they make sure that I understand the answers to my questions. Since we have narrow side yards on both sides of our house, I wondered how they were going to get the concrete to the back yard. The answer? A "Georgia Buggy"!
 
More pictures and details to come soon!
