The Back 40: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

The Back 40 still had some rocks underneath the leaves, so we hired our contractor's girlfriend's little brother (it all makes sense to us) to clear the rest out. He diligently worked and worked and worked, bringing out rocks, and before we knew it, we had a problem. A real problem.

Just for scale, here's my 6 foot son laying next to some of the rocks. (He volunteered to lay down for the picture. No teenagers were harmed in the making of this blog post.)

Ashley, on seeing this picture on my screen: "Oh no! Who killed Matthew?")

It just goes on and on and on...


Here's another shot of yet more random branches and junk.

We'll get there eventually. Someday. Some way. Somehow.

Here are some more in progress shots of the exterior and interior.

Back - the new gable is the extension for the breakfast/dining area, which we pushed out onto the screened in porch. Re-doing the porch will be Phase II.

Pantry/Utility

This week they have been doing HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing, so it's nothing much exciting to look at. I probably won't post more pictures until we have sheet rock inside and limestone outside, probably around the 1st week of December. Rolling right along!
