When we did the addition last year, I really wanted a bigger screened porch. Den prevailed in that conversation and so we had to create a low retaining wall and 3 steps to access the lower levels of the yard. They did the project, but the workers slightly goofed up and the 2 sides (on either side of the steps) didn't align, so they had to redo. I'll post a pic of the finished project.
As usual, we supplied plenty of drinks for the 3-day job. Had the whole neighborhood wondering (and askng) what we were doing (what with the contractor sign in our yard).
The Purple Martin House. I think this will go down as one of those projects Den will discuss at cocktail parties. It said some assembly required, it did not mentioned that included nearly 100 screws and washers or close to 50 actual house 'parts'. Then I come to read that Martins are especially difficult to get to inhabit the house. And to make matters worse, the pole we bought apparently needs cement to stay in place, so it's still not up (doesn't really matter though because we missed the season this year, as spring will be our next
shot.
