First few days: Footings are in place.

Closer view of the footing walls...

Firring strips are added during the "pour". This allows easy fastening of wood trim in instances
such as this, where you might have a significant "reveal" of concrete above the grade level.

Foundation "cap slab" is poured, concrete "grade beam" in place for deck, sidewalls for solarium are roughed in.

Second week: Deck surface installed (hot tub too). Preparing existing exterior wall and eaves for demolition.

The eaves, prior to alteration.

The eaves have been cut back to accommodate the header beam, which will be installed next.

The header beam in place and being secured.

Nearly complete: The shingle roof is tied in and the siding is matched to the home's style & color.

Operational window and skylights will provide ample ventilation.
