When we purchased out home 5 years ago, it came with a "lemon" room addition.  This room has leaked from the foundation, the ceiling, the skylights and door since the day we moved in.  After thousands of dollars in repairs, we still had leaks and problems. 

     The latest problem showed up about one year ago when the room decided to pull away from our home leaving up to a 2 inch gap between the room and the home.  Also, the floor started to buckle, crack and sink in many areas.  With a little caulk and insulation, we made it through the winter and summer, but we knew we would have to do something soon. 

     After weighing our options, meeting with many contractors, realtors, repairman etc., we  finally made a decision.  The room is coming down and will be rebuilt upstairs on post.  We will have a family room off the kitchen upstairs and a nice screened in porch downstairs.   It is a huge project but will be so nice when it is all finished.

This is the room addition off the basement before any work started.

Notice the HUGE oak tree?  It's way bigger than our house!  The new room is going to be on pier and post so the tree had to come down.  I was soooo sad. 

Today, the contractors placed their camo porta-potty in our drivieway.........

and started the room demolition.  All the drywall and insulation was torn down.  Wow!  What a project this is going to be.
