we still have quite a few "projects" that are happening on the house.
remember the front retaining wall? when we moved in, it looked like this:

i am happy to report, that both are officially finished!




we also had stone laid under the front steps.

sorry about the sporadic posting lately. my dear 90 year old grandmother passed away late last week, and i have family coming in town for the funeral. things are going to be busy for the next few days.
