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.
