The Extreme Makeover of 3916 Kingston Court began on Oct. 11, 2008. Caleb got right to work installing a garbage disposal when he heard me shriek "Stephen! Did you know there isn't a garbage disposal"! I couldn't believe anyone could live without such a necessity for 43 years! Thankfully, we have our own personal Mr. Fix It!
If Possible, imagine removing the large plantars boxes you see here, covering up the random 5 holes in the roof, adding windows to the windowless side of the house, removing all traces of ivy, and a fresh coat of paint! This may take a while to get a vision, I know! It has taken us months to come up with one!
Mr. Terry is here to save the day with his Bobcat! Caleb has been waiting for this day! And Katie is scared on the noise! Say good-bye to the plantars boxes and ivy!
Caleb and his friend, Sophie (new neighbor) stand on top on the remnants of the large plantars box. What you can't see in this picture is Steve, Katie, and I shovling dirt as fast as we can into the back of a flatbed. For those of you, not accoustomed to manual labor, I don't suggest it. I could not move my right shoulder the next day. 
We had friends over for lunch (from left to right Belle, Mara, Caleb, Bennet, and Luke) and they all got very excited to watch the men lay the rebar for the foundation of our addition! Caleb has not stopped talking about the sparks from cutting the rebar.
Ready to pour the "phonation" as Katie calls it! Now imagine 3 bedrooms and bathrooms in about ... 6 months!
