Welcome - we have walls around the front door.

Welcome to our humble abode.

Progress is coming along fast and while you may not want to live in the home at the moment we do have a set of walls around the front door.  One minor problem.  The large hole where the front porch goes.  The hole is 8 feet deep and entry via this opening will land you in the cold storage room of the basement.  Give it a few days and this will improve.  You will notice that the walls are going up fast. By the end of the day tomorrow, I would suspect that all the exterior walls will be in place and the interior walls will be taking shape.


As you can see, at eleven o'clock this morning the basement framing was coming together nicely.


And thanks to yesterdays windstorm we have a great start on the landscaping.  We figured that the best landscape is one that fits well with its surrounding, so we will be using a lot of tumble weeds in the yard.  With the piles that the contractor had to take out of the basement we figure that we have a good start on.

 Anyone got any ideas on arrangement and placement of these fine specimens?

LOL, no ideas for the tumbleweed. I'm assuming Ginny is going to have a large garden here. Any fruit trees, grapes or berries? Let Ginny know that we will be having a LARGE crop of blackberries this year!
