First Pictures of the New B and B

Ben and I have finally been able to get the construction started on the new addition to our house. It's been exiting to watch the process. The roof above the garage has been completely taken off and the floor joists are in! We got the lumber for the flooring and the framing today, and Nathan has a crew coming over tomorrow to help out! It's so great, because we are actually starting to see the fruits of our labour. This week has been brutal for weather, unfortunately. It has rained a lot! And the winds on Thursday were insane! This has made the process a little slower, but all in all it's coming along well. Oh and the windows are being picked up tomorrow! I am so excited about how the whole construction is coming along and I can't wait to see the addition unfold.

As some of you may know, we are going to be opening up a bed and breakfast in this new addition of ours. We are going to be having 2 guest rooms, which will each have their own bathroom and fireplace. They are going to be absolutely beautiful! I will keep you all posted with new pictures.

So why a b and b you may ask???

Well, the idea came to us about a year ago, when we were thinking of new and exciting ideas for our house, we love to change things up a lot! We have always loved the idea of using our house as an income source, so we thought that opening up a bed and breakfast would be a great way to do that! Also we are expecting a second baby, and I will be home more often, so it will be a great challenge for me, and a great way to earn a little more income while I am at home. Lastly, and most importantly Ben and I have always dreamed of owning some type of cottage/cabin resort out by a beautiful lake, on a gorgeous property, and we thought that this would be a great way to get this dream started. We are very passionate about our dreams and it's pretty cool to be able to see them starting to come true!!

Take a look at some of the pictures, and stay tuned for more progress.
