Projects

It seems we're always working on a project around the house. For some of the bigger one's, we've created some "photo timelines" or mini-blogs of the project as it progresses. It's fun for us to look back after the project is complete and see how it came together.

Browse through the albums below to check out some of these projects or click here for a large list of projects we've done, and some we still have planned.

Wall sheathing completeThis is how we left it before moving it to the back yard for completion

Shed Rear FramingHere's a view from the rear of the shed. The trusses made roof construction simple -- just place them and nail them up (bracing them temporarily with some scrap wood). At this stage the gables still need to be framed out a bit wider so there will be a slight overhang on the gable ends.

Good Bye old door...

More finish workCathy works on the grade at the bottom of the Turbo Slide. One of the remaining tasks is to bring in a lot of mulch for safety to go under most of the area, and then reseed the rest of the area which was disturbed in all of the leveling efforts.
