French Doors



These french doors were one of the few things left in the house that we could actually use. I took this picture from the living room wall facing the bedroom, which is where they will enter into. On the left is our new front door that our neighbor, Don, bought at a yard sale years ago and gave it to us.

The Thinker

This is one of my favorite pictures so far. :)

King of the Hill



Okay, by this point, JB leveled the ground and dug the L-shaped "ditch" for the footers of the addition. Then he laid in rebar, sump-pumped tons of water from one of the 1,000 rainstorms we've had, and then we had a concrete truck come out and pour the concrete. After it dried, we laid the blocks that you see here. It's all much easier said than done!

JB on the Back Hoe


Here's JB, about to start digging the footers for the master bath addition. He also used that thing to rip out the wall to the left with the blue tarp hanging over it! If you notice, the carport and trash from the previous picture are all gone. :)
