TGIF

Last night, before bed,  I was the one having the dreaded talk with John, but as we drifted off to bed last night...Joe said he'd do it...I'm kinda grouchy in the morning (so it's for the better).    :O)

When I finally woke up at 8:30am, I realized Joe wasn't inside which meant he was still outside talking.   So I went to see what was going on.....Joe, John, Craig and Mike (2 of the carpenters who work with John) were all huddled around a set of plans and looked to be in serious conversations.  Well until Craig looked up at me and cracked a smile..as if to say....."we did all that work yesterday for NOTHING..and now we have to take it all down b/c you idiots didn't realize how small your bedroom really was!"   Which may be what he was really thinking....OR..it was all in my head, as I was still nervous to hear what the outcome of the man huddle was!   John had a similar look on his face....but I've come to realize I'll never know if he is joking or serious nor what he's thinking!  

Well it was good news!  All 3 of them agreed with Joe, my Dad and I....the bedroom was in fact small.  And we needed to do something about it....and something fast.   John liked my Dad's idea...added some of his own in...and voila, we were all happy!   Joe put a call into Dan to let him know what was going on,  and to see how he wanted to handle it....I called my Dad to let him know, John and crew began ripping up what they had laid yesterday and re-"mapped out" the 2nd story.   Everything was falling into place! 

We decided to take the bedroom the entire way out above the 1st floor.  In the original plans we had a "stacking box" effect...the 2nd story was smaller than the 1st...and sat nicely in the middle.  Now we are bringing the walls on both sides out to meet the 1st floor and foundation...and the roof lines won't be as steep and low in our bedroom..giving us a lot more space in the bedroom and bathroom!   They also framed part of the side walls..hoping to be done with the 2nd story sometime next week!  YAY!  Everything worked out in the end!  TGIF!

I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but I will add them in tomorrow!
