Doorway enlargement in progress

Needs some trim and the closet door to be installed.


This is what the doorway looked like when we moved in. The new doorway is much larger.




Temporary shade upgraded with better temporary shade

Swapped out the black sheet with the 4$ temporary shade I got from Home Depot.



500 Lbs of Iron :: FOR SALE ::


For scrap or for use.... Needs to be cleaned if used. 220$ or best offer..
See the listing on Craigslist:

23 Tons of Gravel


Rigged this up to help spread the gravel.



This is what 23 Tons of gravel looks like. The plan is to spread this as a base so that the driveway can eventually be paved. The going rate for driveway gravel is $25 / ton delivered.

Front of the house landscaping


Jessie is working on clearning the front so we can put a shrub and flower bed in.



Front steps still need to be fixed.

10 More Yards of Dumpster : From the garage and around the yard...


Will be moving everything left in the garage up to the barn. The floor will be cleaned, coated and sealed with 2 part epoxy floor paint.

Garage is almost empty. Need to sell the tub and 2 sinks. Good Scrap. *FOR SALE*




























Found a really old cargo van type roof by the barn, which is now in the dumpster. The roof had a ton of worms, and really good soil on it and under it.

















Found a lot of miscellaneous items all around.
