Funny................. Or Sad!

1st Grade!

Today is Matt's first day of school.

Chimney Time!

I'm getting started on the first of 3 chimneys. This one is getting the paint removed and the mortar replaced.

The bottom part was completed before I brought in the scaffolding. It looks all nice and old:)

This one is next. The masonite siding will be removed and replaced with cement siding.

Side Foundation

Here is the finished picture of the side foundation

House

The foundation across the back of the house was replaced with block, then covered with stucco.

Beach 2

Beach

I had a free reward night at a hotel, so we disappeared to the beach for a night. We spent the first day on the beach and the second walking around on the Battleship North Carolina. For some reason I can only post one picture at a time again, so I will make a few post.

After I cleaned all the mortar off the old brick I hired a mason to rebuild the wall. The guy was mexican and he had his 12 year old son helping and his wife mixed all the mortar by hand ;)

I will wait one more week before I lower the jacks and set the house back down.

Foundation Work

This is the side of the house after the old foundation was removed and the new footer was poured.

Killin Time!

I put the old truck out to the curb to sell on Friday. Its was gone by lunch on Saturday. 195K miles and was still running strong. It will be missed :(

Movin Mud!

We decided we would start a tradition of yard decorations for Ground Hogs Day this year, so here ya go :)

One ditch is for 220v power to the shop. The others are part of the french drain system.
