COLUMNS!!

This entire week has been spent with John (and crew) working on the 2nd floor ceiling (existing and new)...and framing the roof to get ready for the roofers to come and put the shingles on.   Of course, nothing is ever easy or "normal" when dealing with our house...so we ran into a few problems. 

John and Dan decided to take the steel out of the plans and replace it with wood columns.   I honestly have no idea why there was steel or what it was for (so I don't know what the wood is for either) but I can tell you we have 2 large beams of wood in our existing house.  I think it has something to do with holding up the roof..but I could be lying!   Everything started with John telling us that the girl's (existing) closet needed to be emptied out by afternoon so they could work in it.  With all the other existing house demo that has happened already we were down to 3 closets in our house..and with this news we'd be down to 2.  2 closets for 4 people...and 1 of the closets is already filled to the max with playroom stuff, and coats, shoes and more.  So 1 closet for all of our clothes!   It wasn't easy...but I did it!  So Tuesday they built the column in the girl's closet and then they did one in our bedroom.  I don't think I was prepared for this one.....I wasn't prepared for how it would look, and the placement of it.   But it is what it is...it had to be done, and we will be making a larger closet in Olivia's new room b/c of it!   SCORE!!!! 

This is our existing room's column (Olivia's future room and future closet)

And here is the one in the girl's closet (Ava's room to be)
