The outside...

A few more exterior updates:

Stonework Finished!




Luckily we had a few warm days while he finished.


And we now have a front pad in front of the garage!

While my dad worked on the stone, some of Adam's buddies and a few hired guys finished the front driveway pad and the sidewalk. And I was home sick so I snuck outside and snapped a few photos of the work in progress.

Matt running the show.
curved sidewalk in the making.
I requested a curve in my sidewalk instead of just a straight angle. I can't wait to have grass and flowers around it instead of a bunch of mud...someday...

Smoothing it out.
And the finished product, well juuuust about finished.


My dad is still going to wrap the front porch with stone, but that can wait until it is warmer out!

And we are waiting for the builder to come back and put our columns up now that my dad is done taking over the front porch.

um don't mind the trash...

and excuse the tarps...and concrete blankets..
stonework.
We can't thank my dad enough for the work he did for us. Not only did he finish our beautiful fireplace, right on deadline (move in day!) He worked 12-14 hour days sometimes for 4-5 days straight...and sometimes in FREEEEEEZING cold weather on the exterior. We love love love it. Thanks dad.

And also thank you to our friends who helped not only with the front pad but the back pad too. We are lucky to have great friends & family in our lives.

Who else needs stonework done? I know a guy..

Happy Friday..the end of the snow

Today, the snow is almost all melted. And we are finally getting a driveway and sidewalk to the front door along with it.

Adam took the day off and with the help of a few buddies and just a couple of hired guys, I will finally be able to get back into the garage with my car!

I have never ever had a garage for myself until we moved to this house in October. And then all of sudden...I didn't really have one again. I did...I just couldn't drive my car into it for almost a month. A long month...
You see, we've had the driveway pad framed out since Christmas ready to pour, but first there was rain. And then snow. So much snow.

Scout watched is snow all evening.


I didn't mind at first, because it was beautiful.

It even covered up all the scrap lumber that is still in the backyard.
But, after a few days of not being able to park in the garage (due to the framing set up) and having to walk through the snow in my skirt and heels...I had had enough.

Goodbye beautiful snow...for now I welcome the mud!


Is there still snow at your house? It is going to be in the 50's today here today!
