Rooms are coming out great. Dry wall and insulation went up yesterday and today. Tomorrow the mudding starts. EWWWW!

Good luck with your project. All this time I hadn't known it was attached to your house. It will be nice to have the extra space!

Oh it sure will. It will be nice not to have to give up our bedroom every time we have long-term guests. Trust me, that gets really old fast. Makes it nice too, for the guestroom is on the "store" side of our house next to the new man-cave, so it will also create more privacy for them and us. When people get up in the morning. They can hang out in big room and watch tv, etc. Man, I can't wait.
We have some pics up on FB and will continue to add to them. Here's the construction and deconstruction images:

Well, I am very, very sorry but I haven't posted here for a long time. Today I was cleaning up some stuff and found Marion's Christmas card. I didn't send any Christmas cards last year but something will come to you soon Marion.
I will try to post more regularly, maybe some picture reports from diffferent events, but I also have to admit that I haven't posted much on other forums. I hope all is well with everyone and maybe we can meet up this year or so.
Regards,
Frank

Frank, how wonderful to hear from you. Ya, time sure gets away from us, doesn't it. But, it's great to hear from you once again. Glad you stopped by and glad to hear you are okay.
I've been catching up with my email, for it's a never-ending process. Last week it took two days for me to go through over 50 emails from various people. Some needed advice and info, some needed to be put in touch with others, Some had photos and documents which I had to process, etc. etc. It's so easy to fall behind and I try my best to give personal replies to all of them. Whew!

Hey Frank, BTW, we are having a VI Corps Engineer reunion this August in DC. Don't know if you saw the post in the Reunion section yet.

Hello Marion. I saw the post and if I am not mistaken there was also a commemoration for operation Dragoon. I decided not to visit the States this year. I am moving to an appartment within the next two months so I have to save some money. Maybe I am going to Normandy somewhere this year. I have been to the States last year and visited the East / North-East side. I even was in Michigan for a couple of hours but we had to catch the flight in Detroit. Maybe next time.
Thank you very much for your response Marion.
