When it rains, it pours-- when it's hot, it's hot

As if there isn't enough going on around here, the AC is out again. I must have a major leak of freon and no one can come until sometime tomorrow.

The good news is that it is supposed to cool off overnight and tomorrow.

Day Two

Day Two of the renovation was less eventful. Most of the day was spent hauling off debris-- a few items still remain.

After some of the debris is carried off, a truckload of gravel arrives. Now where do I park my car?

The foundation gets a bath.

Planning a home construction project is exciting, but the process is not. I have decided to do some much needed repair to a leaky basement and to add a wraparound porch to my house. Prior to the beginning of this construction project, I had hoped to get some treework done. Well-- so much for planning. Both events occurred simultaneously and almost at the same time!

Knowing that things were about to happen, I wanted to capture a “before” picture or two to remind me where all of this began.

All the while the monster machine is waiting......

The Big Dig

Oops! There goes the shrubbery.

Trimming the trees

The redbud and crepe myrtle all got a new "do."
