Demolition nears the end; We start to clean up the front yard.

Demolition includes taking down some superfluous concrete stairs leading to the sun porch and removing the deck from the screened porch in the back. They're almost done and the building can begin! We pour the foundation for the kitchen addition next week.

We went to the Dump today to clean up the front yard. It was a mess; is that straw or dead grass? Lots of trimming, raking, sweeping. It's still ugly, but it's cleaner. If you look at the cover photo of the blog or previously exterior photos, you'll notice a huge change. It's still fun.

Concrete steps and railings to the sun porch.

They're coming down while we have a dumpster. Demolition!

Front walkway. Nice.

Bravery
