The boys are done and the rest of the work will be done by me. So you won't see to many more post for a while. I may throw up a new picture after some thing changes but right now I'm working on gas line water lines and Electrical all at once and it doesn't seem to be going very fast.

A couple of things to note look the yard is somewhat flat again though not graded the way we want it, at least the trench is gone. And so are the big hunks of root.

That trench was there for so long I thought it might never be covered up. There are still two small holes left one in front of the main house and on on the side of the Club House. When I finish the gas line they will install the meter and I can cover those holes also.

Not much has been happening that you can see. The trench has conduit and wires and will be covered over tomorrow. It will be nice to have that taken care of. As you can see the first coat of primer is on won't be long till the top coat is applied, forecast for this coming week is warn and dry perfect for painting. Inside I've been working on some plumbing a slow process for me but I'm making head way. will post more pics when the trench is gone and the final color is applied.

It's a good thing the neighbors are on vacation. Hopefully the dirt will be back in the hole before they get back.

Waiting for the electrical to get here. It comes from two houses to the right. That's going to be interesting and hopefully not too expensive to go under 3 driveways and a very busy garden.


The Beast returns. This portion of the root is in the path of the sewer line.

Lots of digging, a 1/2 day to repair a track on the digger and they finally get it busted loose.
Does any one out there need a really unique piece of very old wood? Let me know... I'm sure we can make a deal.











The siding is on for the most part. The porch cover can't be completed until the trench is filled in. It took a while to see any changes because they started siding on the back and did the front last.

Finally something to report the windows arrived a day early and were installed the next day. Shopping for a front door that should be in soon and the siding is right around the corner.

Most of the pictures were taken from the window behind the big tree. Just wanted you to see the reverse picture
