Goodbye Strange Wedding Cake

Our house had this strange feature ever since we purchased it. It was a 3 foot high concrete structure that resembled a 3 layer wedding cake located outside in the patio area. We never really were sure what it's purpose was. But it ended up just collecting outside junk. Well it had to be removed to make for the new and now it's gone. Apparently, it was hiding some lost and forgotten spigot.

Here are some before and after pics.

Carport Rebirth

We had a carport that was demolished to make way for the garage. Apparently, a lot of the wood from it could be salvaged and has been re-used throughout the new construction. These are some of the few places where it has been used.

Look for the 'White' pieces of wood.

Used as a temporary support for the 2nd floor over hang.

Underneath the 2nd floor used for some of the new framing.

In the shower of the master bath.

Above all the windows on the 2nd floor.

... some more 2nd floor window examples.

Used for some framing for the new floor system.

3rd step up is old carport.

2nd floor walled in and roofed in (pics taken 3/14/2009)

Lots of stuff going on, hard to keep this updated, better late then never...

Carrots and Kung Fu Panda

Freshly picked from Michelle's garden.

Black Eyed Jack

Apparently after the teacher told him to not stand on the slide he did
and then did a face plant on it.

Dirt Boy

.. it's even worse knowing it's dog park dirt

first dinner party

I had The Flints over for dinner on Sunday and it turned out to be perfect timing to walk on the new concrete slab poured for the dining room. Thank goodness because I don't know where else we would have eaten...on the floor? It was a perfect evening to have the breeze coming through the doorways!

one month exactly today

And on the 20th day (not counting weekends) God said, "Let there be stairs."
