February 7-16, 2009 - New Front Porch, Copper Dormers, and a Visit from my Grandparents...

Bricks on the new front porch.

We got the concrete poured so that the pavers can be put on top.

Yes cheesey I know. But the concrete was still wet...couldn't resist.

"Tyvek" all around

The house with the porch on it!

Across the street at the park...you can kind of see the copper dormers (you can see them better in person) and the porch.

The house from across the park.


Me next to the dumpster...there is always one at the house!

Inside the basement, the "hole" going into the crawlspace of the new construction.

What the kitchen looks like everyday, messy!

The living room isn't very clean either.

Jen hanging out at the house...she is so sweet she comes to look at it almost everyday with me after I get off work!


Grandad and Grandmom came to visit! Grandmom had not seen the house since we started construction because she had been out of town.

We went out to eat after looking at the house. Dad was taking the picture.

My Contractor! (and DAD)


Andrew, we found old darts in the basement...it was definitely meant to be the mancave!

The old furnace in the basement...it is gone now.

Looking into the furnace.

They had to put a toilet downstairs in the basement for people working at the house to use. It is Dad's favorite part, he thinks it is really funny. I think it is nasty.
