Last Thursday they actually started doing some framing and Friday the back wall was a skeleton wall...but still a wall. Friday it rained and we knew that there was a chance that we would get some moisture in the house because the slab is at the level of the house and flat (no drainage). Jim noticed a little water at the back door on the rug. Later Friday night when I went into my closet...it was completely flooded. We kept a fan on it all night but Saturday the smell was so bad, we had to rip out the carpet and padding and it still smells...not as bad but still some even after I mopped it and sprayed it with Febreeze.
Today a lot more has been done and I can actually see the size of my closet!! I could literally put a small bed in this closet. Jim still doesn't see the need for it but in time I'm sure he will get it. I initially intended to split the closet down the middle, but thanks to my "keen" contractor, he put the thought out to add most of the space to one side to maximize the square footage.
I like the way he thinks!! I don't think I could have gotten away with it, but since it was HIS idea it went over without a scuffle from Jim.
This is the living room. Jim is standing in one of the two picture windows.
