This is an ongoing project so this page will be updated as progress is made. The photos show the original structure, clearing around it,
adding an extention on the north side then tearing down the original to eliminate any steps in the house. Then the construction of the
south side began which is where progress was as of September 8, 2016. As construction continued, photos have been added with the latest
at the bottom of this page.
