They say it has to get worse before it gets better -- I am beginning to wonder?!?!? We are re-doing the front courtyard - and the stucco was in need of repair, so that is being done at the same time. If you will notice in the next few pictures -- getting into our home is a challenge right now ... we hear it will be better next week!!! Luckily they can't pour concrete in all areas at once or we would not be able to get in!!
This is going to be a sidewalk coming from the new driveway to the front door -- so people don't have to tromp through the grass. It is going to have a gentle curve to it.
This is the direction the driveway is going to go -- straight out to the front (no more curve). We had a difficult time finding a place for the trash cans -- everything is torn up right now. The garage door is coming next week as well. YEAH!!
This is a look at the side yard going into the back yard. The stucco color coat was put on this week - only the back two walls are stucco - but they look very nice. The gate will go at the back edge of the brick and then come over to the fence. We are getting there!

The "Man" Shower
A cousin of Alisa's gave Ryan a 'Man' shower -- and it was held at the club house where Janna and Jason used to live. He got lots of cool MAN tools - and they had tons of good food. A great time was had by all.

Look at the gifts he got!! (that is ROOT BEER they are drinking, by the way)
Playing a game in the TV/theatre room -- Dave and Jason are on the couches.

The Brick is DONE!!
This is Dennis' new garage - looking from the existing (now tandem part) into the new area.
The finished brick - it matches perfectly to the rest of the house!
This shows our new shingles and the complicated roof lines - very unique.
The end of the garage - the brick work in progress. We're so glad it is all done!

My new room --- SEE THE WINDOW!!! This shows our new rafters -- it was 100+ degree temperature that day.
This is the new area after the first coat of mud -- gotta love drywall -- but it is a must!
See how we are living - and why we are ready to have it done!!! Notice the fireplace all finished! -- and the DUST everywhere.
