Rainbird

Water is life, and I am the giver
Hose down the driveway,
flow to the river.

Hot Top


Here's the paving crew in action, laying down a base coat of asphalt for the driveway.  With this and the walkways now in place, we stand a half decent chance of walking into the house without tracking in a mountain of dirt.

Now let's get a little grass and it'll look like a real home.

Gonna Make This Place Our Home


The big day has finally arrived!   The building inspector gave a big thumbs up the other day and granted a certificate of occupancy. 

The moving crew returned today to get everything settled just about where it needs to be.  We're spending one last night at the hotel, then packing up the circus and moving over to the house tomorrow. Dozens and dozens of boxes to unpack, but after 4 moves in 1 year I suspect we'll have it all done in short order.



Walk This Way


The landscaping crew has finished the brick work for the front walkway. Amazing to see how much prep work goes in. Beneath those pavers is about a foot of excavated, laser-leveled, compacted base. Sweeping curves create an inviting entrance to our home.
