Construction

We are doing some remolding to the exterior of the house. It all started when we realized we need a new roof. We figured as long as the workers are already here we'll have them do some other work. It's taking a lot longer than we had planned on. Our project is low on the totem pole for the construction crew. They are building a huge house and are behind schedule so they get to us when time allows. The top two pictures are Ella's play house being move. Ella and Murphy do not use it anymore so they agreed to give it to a couple of little girls around 3-4 years old. They are thrilled with it. Their dad did the moving. The left middle picture shows the lower deck and hot tub gone. We're not sure exactly what we're going to do back there but we do have some ideas. That will be next years project. The right middle picture show the workers and scaffolding for the shingles. It had rained quite a bit so the front end loader really tore up the yard.....front, back and the side. We really can't plant seed until they are done. The larger bottom picture shows the wall and water fountain gone. We are pouring a new slab, steps and side walk. The idea is to create a garden like setting where the fountain used to be. There will be a shorter wall to define the area but it won't be as long. Hopefull the workers will get back the week of the 13th, and get the cement poured. They are also going to rebuild the steps from the laundry room down to the back yard.
So many projects....so little time and money!!!
