Four months ago a giant hole was dug in front of my garage. Today we filled it with concrete. Thank goodness cause I really didn’t want to leave my truck out all winter. With my luck it would get broken into again.<\/p>\n
Instead of the usual signing & pressing coins into the concrete Drew had the puppies put a paw print in it before it completely set. Fenris is getting on in years so it’ll be a nice reminder. Just wish we’d thought of it when pouring the patio & walk earlier this summer.<\/p>\n
With the concrete down we can pretty much lay reno 2009 to rest. It was a pretty big series of jobs this year. New furnace & AC unit. Insulation blown into ceiling. Old deck torn down and replaced with concrete patio and a smaller upper balcony. Garage sided and small shed built. And finally, la piece de resistance, concrete parking pad poured on the side and in front of the garage.<\/p>\n
We got a lot done this year. I think we’ll take a break before tackling any more “round the house” jobs. One of these days we need to refinish a floor or two and reno the basement bathroom and kitchin. Nothing too pressing. 2011 (or later) sounds good to me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
