Renovation, Part 4

The old concrete has mostly been removed. There are bits that have to be done with a bit more deftness than can be accomplished with their front loader. Around the pipe leading into the house, for example. But it has been cleared away enough to start framing the new walks.

Going clockwise around the house here's the side of the garage. There is no art on the wall.

The front of the house:
There's still a chunk of old concrete by the front door that has to be carefully chipped out.

The gate going to the side of the house:

Along the side of the house:

Rounding the corner to the back of the house:

Around the garden room:

The other side of the garden room. Here's one of the septic tank's lids.

By the pile of dirt in the picture above there is an exploratory trench being dug.
They're searching for the pipe going out to the septic tank. You can see it at the bottom of the picture! More about this later.

Here's the end of the house with the family room and the garage:
We're going to have the concrete fill the space between the house and the fence. What are those posts along the fence?

Here's the view from the end of the driveway. We're going to have a grand walkway leading up to the front door.

If you look at this picture of about the same view taken a few days before these pictures you might notice something's gone. We've opened up the yard a lot.

What a difference a few days make!

You've certainly been taking the scenic route on your trip to tell us how the turtle got on the front porch! And I've been enjoying every yard (pun intended)of it.
