Renovating in all it's glory

We have now started the process of renovations! Besides the small things all over inside the house (ie sandpapering floors, painting walls, windows, etc...) we have 3 major projects we want to do on this house. The entrance way, the upstairs bathroom and the kitchen. Last Saturday the digging began for the entrance way. As it is now it's too crowded when you first come in, so we want to knock down the front door/wall and extend the house out a couple meters to make a small entrance hall. A lot of the other houses in the area have it and it really makes a big difference. We hope to be done soon, so it doesn't get too chilly! Wish us luck. We'll keep you updated!
How it looks today from the inside. A bit tight with 3 kids and winter shoes and coats and hats and gloves coming!

You have to dig down a couple cm to be able to lay the foundation. This is the kids helping.

After about a half hour, the kids came in cold, and tired. Chris is still working...

Isn't the best picture, but you can see somewhat how we want it (from the outside anyway). You see blue house has an entrance hall extended out from the house.

ooo that will be so nice. You can tell in the picture of the blue house what a difference it makes. Good luck beating the weather.
