" Hey Tim."
" Hi Bob."
" How's it going?"
" Hey, go to see -- well I just finished demolition. "
" You've been doing all your demolition here yourself huh."
" This used to be a sledge hammer. That's how much work I've doing, yeah it's all finished."
" Well it's turned into a ball-peen hammer for you I see."
" Yeah."
" Yeah. That's really impressive you didn't used your craftsman here that I signed for you when I saw you out there a couple of..."
" No, I just keep that with me because it's just like an amulet."
" Brings you a little -- so like an amulet."
" Where's that [unk]"
" I'm not sure, I'm not sure."
" So..."
" Well see, let me show you what we've run."
" You gotta run us through here, I mean, you've done all, you cut a roof up yourself there."
" Yeah my mother-in-law joints."
" Really?"
" What's that called that thing that little, this niche here."
" On the sofette there."
" Yeah sofette, yeah I got the sofette all stand out."
" What is that have to do with your mother-in-law?"
" That's where she's staying. You ask your mother-in-law, she stays right up in here."
" Aha."
" What I've done here."
" Yes."
" Is I took all this brick off and I don't know why I did that 'cause actually this hit wall, this is my neighbors house. My house should be, no I'm just kidding, took all this wall up this here, this black area used to go into my kitchen. And this is our dining room. "
" This was your dining room? "
" Dining room and what I've done is I've expanded it into, should I fall..."
" That's alright."
" I've branded it into this area."
" So what you're trying to do is you're trying to build a new dining room. "
" New dining room, a new garage which would be out that way."
" Top way."
" That way of course in the family room, so we'll go..."
" And what was, what did you do here? I mean it looks like you had some sort of a nice book case or something here."
" I actually put this in myself a long time ago as [unk] little lead things, I had objects "D" art."
" Oh."
" Stuff really just not "D" art."
" "D" art. Not "C" art or "B" art."
" Not "C" art or "B" art and then we pushed the whole house at this way so I can have a family room and a garage."
" I love the way you did your cut out work up there you know, with the reciprocating saw."
" No, I used the jackhammer, a Bosch pneumatic jackhammer for that."
" To do that?"
" To do that 'cause it takes a little bit more energy."
" Let's go, let's meet my builder 'cause he's better in explaining of this because his new at the college."
" Hi."
" Hi Bob."
" How are you?"
" This is Andy, Nelson."
" Nelson Woodworking good to meet you."
" Nice to meet you."
" And Andy..."
" So you guys are actually working from blueprints huh."
" Well we try."
" That's great. Andy and I went to school together."
" Oh is that right? Where was that?"
" Sea Home. Sea Home."
" Right here in Michigan."

" That's great."
" Give us a..."

" So you started working together right Andy?"
" Right, yeah that always makes it more difficult."
" You son of a..."
" Yeah."
" What can we see here now?"
" This is the old area right here Bob."
" And this is the old garage that we'd demolished and we're adding a big family room here in a 3 1/2 car garage."
" A 3 1/2 car garage."
" 3 1/2 car."
" Tim, who drives the half car?"
" That would be, that's a motorcycle."
" Oh it's a motorcycle."
" Yeah, a half car."
" Oh."
" It'll be on 2 wheels instead of 4."
" I see."
" There you go half car."
" Have you, are you insulating this loft?"
" Sure I am Bob. This is the, what I call a corner. I put a corner in here."
" So you don't have a basement under the garage it's on."
" Well what we're doing Bob is we build our basement to the separate site and we're gonna slide it under after we finish this 'cause it's a new way of doing it. Andy and I decided that it'd be cheaper to build the basement off site, slide her under."
" Their corners, see what you do is your left corner, here's what we done I've done it, it's all Styrofoam."
" It's all Styrofoam."
" That's all Styrofoam so it's lighter."
" Tell me this is the family room and the things right?"
" Right."
" You're not working on the garage today."
" No."
" Yeah."
" Well, we'll be pouring that later."
" In there?"
" I think so."
" Oh okay."
" What have you done here to make sure that you have a nice cozy warm family room for your little girl and everything?"
" I put 7 inches of radium underneath the house so I get a radioactive meltdown heat. Now, what I've done is, actually I put you know..."
" This stuff."
" Yeah."
" And underneath this stuff is other stuff just more of..."
" So you've got rigid installation. Do you have a footing here? How deep is..."
" 42 inch [unk]."
" We got lot of feet."
" Forty two inch footing, okay."
" Right over down."
" We have a footing that goes all the way."
" Yeah."
" Right down to the foot in there and I did all this myself."
" And you had to insulate the footing also Tim?"
" You bet, I put you know, what's that called?"
" Footing insulation. "
" Footing insulation right there next to the footing and we have socks that go over the whole foot."
" That'll do it."
" And what about this stuff huh? Do you really need it?"
" That's that, Andy remember the name of that stuff?"
" Wire."
" That wire."
" It's wire."
" You put that wire down so this..."
" Yeah, this is 6 by 6 member 10 wire reinforcing."

" Al is I hate Al. I don't wanna talk about Al."
" Yeah, yeah, oops."
" Oh boy I wouldn't done that."
" Guess I'm sorry."
