Stairs are Finished

The front stairs are completed except for the railing which we have to think about what we want. The area around the stairs has been seeded and straw has been added.


A side view of the stairs.


Top view, the stone around the platform and the steps are granite and the risers and sides are field stone.


Here is a photo of the work in progress.

Front Porch Construction

Construction is continuing on the front porch. The stone is being put in on the risers.


The side will have stone also.

Porch and Garage

A lot of work is being done this week, not only the garage but the work has been started on the front porch and stairs. Here the hole is being dug for the footings.


The hole is dug and is ready for the footings to be poured. Somehow I didn't get a photo of the poured footing but it can be seen in other photos.


Blocks are being added as a base for the platform and stairs.


After building the block frame, it is filled with crushed stone.


Work continues on the garage. The beams are all on the roof.


The side wall is almost done also. Tomorrow, sheeting should be on and will be ready to shingle.

Garage Day Five

The roof rafters have started to be added.


A view from the second floor. The view is deceiving, the peak is about eight feet high.

Garage Day Four

More progress on the garage today.


Most of the studs are in and work on the stairs has started.


The second floor deck is on also. Tomorrow, the roof rafters will be going up.

Garage Day Three

The garage is starting to come together, the framing is progressing, the major beams are in, and the second floor decking is about to start.



A closer look. Tomorrow the carpenters will be back; hopefully the second floor decking will be complete.
