Did I say "construction begins"???!!!!!

Well, we thought we were off to a good start, but the contractors have only been here one day so far.  In addition to a big-ass dumpster (Ben's term), we also have a bunch of lumber and a portable toilet in our driveway.  Not much progress has been made though because it has rained all week and now we have an ice storm.  Typical Sylar luck.  The kids and I did venture into the family room on Wednesday to see what it looked like.  They have covered the whole floor with cardboard and taken the ceiling down, so there is not plywood being held up by these beams.
Note the wreath by the fireplace.  No idea where it came from, but I hope they don't think it's mine!!!!
