My roofer came through, and I now have a shiny new green tin roof, which is nice: we had the thick tar paper on top but that stuff is notorious for "drying up" within a moderately short time (and then leaking) when exposed to direct sunlight and we were kind of pushing the time limits on how long we could go without covering it up (and still not getting wet when it rains).
Anyhoo, it's on now, which is a good thing. I've just got something resembling an almost human schedule at work too, so I'm pretty stoked about that too.
Without further ado, here's a bunch of pictures I took of the place the other morning. The yard is looking great, if you don't believe me, flip back a few months and look at the giant mud pit that was the front yard, and compare to the below.
Pix, so it did happen:
Here's a closeup (below) of the little wall down at the split in the driveway. Those are big giant chunks of raw marble, the biggest blocks were too big to even drag, I mean...heavy duty.
From a bit further back.... (below)
We went to Ikea, and among other things, we picked up some curtains (on the cheap!) for the windows. I've got the rods for them too, but I've put them on a temporary clothesline for now since I don't want to take off the rods and then reinstall them when we put up the drywall.
And, a few more gratuitous shots of the house and yard.
We're off to church, have a great day, thanks for reading !
