Ok this is a terrible picture but this is what the front area used to be.. a big open space that was nice to store feed and hang dead things up in! :) I didn't take a before picture so I had to go digging for one and this is the best one I could find. This is in 09.
Here we are in 2012
Papa and I hammered in the floor joists one day and then
Papa screwed in the bridging.
We 'glued and screwed' the OSB on another day and then the kids and I puttied the cracks
before Papa rented a sander and sanded the floor.
Primer was next, which the kids loved :). The OSB soaked in a lot more primer then we expected so this ended up being a couple evenings work as we ran out if primer and had to get more.
Then we used our muscles and moved all the stuff we've stored on the floor over the years
onto the freshly painted part :)
Except the new playground which Papa had to take off with the skid steer.
Then I swept and putty-ed..
Now we just need to finish the last 8 feet of joists, bridging and OSB, putty the cracks,
sand the whole thing....
and primer it!!
Lovely isn't it?
Now we are ready for WALLS :)

So will this be part of your house when it is done?
Yes this is beside the existing trailer that we are living in now. This is where we will move into when we take the trailer out so we can finish the middle between the small east side addition and the large west side addition. I've forgotten not everyone who reads the blog has been here so I'll post a picture of the whole house and then it will make more sense :)
