In 2006 we decided to add on a family room to the back of our house. Many wondered why we bothered because by then the boys were out of the house. But I always wanted more room and so we began.
We had the shell built for us but Don took on the task of doing all the work himself for the rest. It was a daunting task. He did his own electrical work, plumbing,finishing, moldings and painting. As well as roofed. Bless his heart.
The other day Chris sent us these pictures to remind us what it looked like before.
I got a laugh out of this one....notice I hung wreaths on the door and tried out the curtains at the windows? I was so impatient. I couldn't wait to see how they would look.
We have never regretted adding on. I love my big table now and a space to watch tv. We live in this room now.

Wow!!! What a wonderful job he did!!!!! He certainly must get a smile of satisfaction, every time he walks into this addition.
