Here are some pictures of our room that is going to be demolished. As you can see we have cleaned out the inside from what I showed you a week ago on the Blog. Today I began doing some the work that the contractor would have done. I guess I cannot keep my hands off of anything, I have to be involved. The boards that you see that I removed are braces. I put them on several years ago when a hurricane was looking at Bradenton. I have plywood cut out for that room and the braces were there so that the wood could be applied. They have to come off because they would hinder the contractor from removing the windows. I will not need then anymore because I am installing hurricane impact windows in the new room.
The contractor, Mark Wolfe showed up today to meet with some block layers for them to give him a bid. He dug around the foundation to be sure that the room had a footer, which it does. The only area that I am concerned about is the roof. When we tear the ceiling down we will find out if we are in good shape there or not. I hope so, if not that will be more money to put out. Pat is really fretting all of this as it will take about a month for them to complete. Then Pat and I will take over, paint and have the carpet installed. I am sure it will be nice once it is all done.
Sunday I will take down the light and fans from the ceiling. I will then tape up construction paper on the glass sliding doors. This will act as curtains and give us some privacy.
Take care today and be Blessed.

Dad, I am just now getting caught up on reading your blog. James reads it every single night faithfully, but I have been slow to catch up. I hope you keep your Gator tickets, I am afraid you will regret not going to the games when all of your friends keep going- after all, you were going to them when Mom was pregnant with me! Can't wait to see the room as it progresses, I'm sure it will be really nice. And check out getting a recumbent bike, I really love them, and both my chiropractor and my therapist recommended one as a good exercise tool that will be easy on the back. I can't wait to get ours put together and put to good use.
