I Felt the Earth Move......

 

These trenches are for the master suite foundation.

 

 

More to come.... 

Frost in the Yard

We've had a few chilly mornings this past week.  It may not seem like a big deal to some of you, but here in "sunny southern California," we are not used to cold weather.  Plus...I have to go out in that cold morning air to get from the trailer to the bathroom shower on these chilly mornings!

This picture was taken Tuesday morning, around 6:50AM when I was leaving for work.  Gerry moved the "walking planks" so you could see the difference between the ground that was covered and the area that was frosted.

 

Miscellaneous Activity in the Backyard

Some of the original foundation has been removed to make way for the new foundation.



Gerry built a roof over the birdfeeder to help keep the birdseed dry in this annoying rain!

Trimmed the tree at the back of the yard.  (It's hard to see in the picture.)

The Rain Cave.  So far, I have not had to hike in the rain from the trailer to the house (bedroom & bathroom); however, the path does get a bit muddy.  The bedroom & bathroom are staying nice and dry.





Digging Trenches

Progess has been slow over the past 3 weeks because of the unseasonal rain.

We're digging trenches for the new sewer lines and water runoff.

A Break From Remodeling - Vacation

I took a weeklong vacation to visit my Aunt & Uncle's in South Carolina.  They live on Hartwell Lake.

Shelter From the Rain

Gerry built a cover that expands the patio and trailer to keep it dry during the rain.

It also makes it easier to keep the patio clean from all the falling leaves.

Demo is Done - Before, During and After Photos

This is the house as of October 5th,  I'm several days late with this post.

All the stucco, plaster and framing has been removed.   The third large dumpster was picked up on the 4th.

We got the plastic up around the bedroom, bath and hallway just in time for the rain last week!
