After a year and a half, we are starting our 3rd phase of renovations. (1st Phase: Trees , 2nd Phase: Guest Bathroom and Hallway Bathroom) A few months ago, Sebastien began tearing down our deck, which was 40 years old. Sebastien got the deck down in a few days. We spent one whole weekend (12 hours a day) burning the wood. Then, we had a huge concrete pad poured. Next month, the work should begin to add a sun room/dining room, and decks on either side. We can't wait!
Original Deck
Sebastien starting to take the deck apart.
My Dad came to help out one afternoon.
Last of the destruction
The squirrels always hung out on the corner of our deck eating nuts. They just couldn't let it go, as they were doing the same on the debris.
New concrete pad
This is our current dining room. When the project is finished, there will be a room straight off this one, which will be 16 X 16 ft. The new sun room will act as our dining room with a small seating area.
Our friend, Lisa Denlinger, came down from Philly to draw up plans for the future projects that we have. This is her rendering of the back of our house once this phase is done. In this drawing, it shows a new door that will be replacing a window in our guest room. Guests will have access to a small deck/balcony from their room (Does this make any of you want to come? I believe the Ludemans will be the first to use it:) Eventually underneath the deck, we will have an outdoor living room and add the sliding doors (on the right) where our future master bedroom will be.
Hopefully, everything will be done before lake season. Can't wait to have people over for dinner in our new dining room!

Looking good guys. Nice work by Lisa on the plans also. Can't wait to see the progress in person in a few months!
