we still have quite a few "projects" that are happening on the house.
remember the front retaining wall? when we moved in, it looked like this:


we have been working on it for the last couple of weeks, as well as the area to the left of the driveway, which was previously a narrow, steep strip of dirt.



i am happy to report, that both are officially finished!

we also had stone laid under the front steps.

after:

i really love the way the stone here ties the steps in the  front of the house and the retaining wall.

sorry about the sporadic posting lately. my dear 90 year old grandmother passed away late last week, and i have family coming in town for the funeral. things are going to be busy for the next few days.
i am excited to show you around the rest of the house, but most likely will not get around to it until early next week.
