The Party's Over!

Last night was the Dad's retirement party from Haller Enterprises. Monica, TJ and Abby surprised Dad and Di by coming from Boston! Now that the party is over...it seems to me they should be in Virginia by now! (2 weeks left!)

Abby and Grandpa!

Final Touches!!!

Rolling Path gets a new mailbox...must be the Trexler's are moving in SOON!!!

The driveway is in and looks great! The "island" will be a great place for planting. It even has an electrical outlet on it...David can do anything!

Only Three Weeks Left!

Yes, that's right! Only three weeks left! David and Kenny worked on laying down more mulch.

The straw is over the drain field (up in the woods). They wanted to get all of that done before the rain comes tonight.

Drain Field

Today the digging of the drain field was started. Four of the five main ditches were dug today as well as the main ditch.
Here is a closer look at one of the ditches.

Time For Some Yard Work!

With only 26 more days until Dad and Di move into their house, the yard work has begun. They have been laying a dark mulch around the house over the messy clay.

Kitchen Back Splash

Today, instead of working outside in the 107 degree heat (that's with the heat index), David and Junior worked on putting in the tile back splash in the kitchen.

I have a feeling, Di is going to be VERY happy with this tile when it's all done! (grouting, etc.)

The Side Porch Gets Built

It's the finishing touches now! David and the twins worked to get the side entrance to the garage built today!

The Back Porch Gets Concrete

The smaller pad will be a place to house and use the grill.

I KNOW we will be sitting on this porch quite a bit once Dad and Di get here!
