Halfway Through

This weekend, the workmen are off, but lots has been accomplished in the first week.

The pool has a new liner and is filled again. Although the chemicals haven't been adjusted, the water is swirling and being filtered through the pump.

The deck folks have framed out the steps and garden box that we wanted done.

The Pool is Filling!

They're Working on the Pool!

OK - the pool guys have arrived and they've taken out the liner and are preparing to install the new liner. Here's the progress in pictures.

A Beautiful Fence

So, the first fence installment is done this evening - this is so beautiful. I'll just let you see the pictures.

Construction Day 2 - continued

Today has been a great day. And we're not done yet, but I wanted to show off the progress made. It doesn't look like much, but I am just so impressed by the craftsmanship of these workmen. They not only know how to build fences, they are really creative about it.

And hard working.

Today they took out this stump by hand, plus an old holly tree that was needing to go.

They filled in the holes these trees left and leveled the entire area.

They are busy rebuilding the fence sections between our house and Karen's this evening.

We tore down and rebuilt the shed on both the East and South sides today and I helped!

And now David (the workman) is putting corner pieces on the shed. I painted them both with house paint I had left over.

Well, back to work!

Construction Day Two

Today we are taking down the fence between us and Karen's house next door. Her dogs are penned up so we have to work fast to get the fence between us taken down and rebuilt.

As of 8:21 AM the fence is gone. They're grinding some stumps down of trees we had to remove and by this afternoon there should be a fence rebuilt here. Stay tuned...

The Deck and Fence are GONE

OK - now this is what my yard looks like without a deck and back fence.

Yes, it is a mess. But the die is cast and we are now in motion to make something beautiful!!
