He had to try it out and make sure it is going to fit!!

The bricks come off ...

Dennis' new side load for the trailer - the quad goes UP and IN!! Easy! (He LOVES it!)

The Foundation is in!!

Looking from the garage out - the new garage door opening!

The look from the front -- the grass will soon be driveway!!

A look into the new garage (the back door is at the left).

Footings......

Nothing really exciting, but this is what they did yesterday and today!!! It's fun to come home and figure out what they did while we were gone!

Parking.....

This is how Ryan and I are parking these days. Ryan also has a car from work that we get to juggle around. So, first come first serve for the closest to the front door.

One day last week, one of the workers parked in front of Ryan's car so we got a "lovely" note from the mail person saying that if it happened again...no mail. So Dad made this sign and it stays out all the time, in front of where Ryan's car is parked in the picture above.

The driveway

They made a horseshoe trench in our driveway so they could put the footings in. Dad did not have a chance to get the trash cans out before they did this, so it was an interesting task Thursday night.

Here is our "official" sign advertising who is doing our construction.

This is how Mom and Dad park these days.

The Construction

They've started to tear up the house! (These pictures are courtsey of Wendy)

I thought it was about time for Mom & Dad to have a blog! :) So, I've made them one. They will need to keep us all updated on the construction taking place at their house!
Here are a few pictures, just for fun:
