As I mentioned before Mark has been working on some outside projects around here while his tractor is here.  The lake front looks amazing with all the clearing he did!

Hello fall 🙂

As you walk up the side of the house you can see the huge pile of dirt we have going…

This will be used for filling in behind retaining walls – and hopefully down by the lake if we get permit approval for that wall next year.

And the excavation by the house is coming along.  This will be a big project – we have to build retaining walls on either side, a door for the basement (install that) and also insulate, put in drainage, some footings or something – I don’t know there’s a lot!

While we have the dirt Mark has been putting it up where we’ll split the driveway so it will run down by the side of the house here.  Probably where we’ll build something for the boat some day.

This past weekend Ryan finished up the trim on the outside of the sliding doors so they are ready for winter.  He also got the baseboard done around the built-in on the right side.  Not bad for one day of work.  Most weekends will be about 1 day each until his vacation in November when we hope to finish up the office I think (and also probably work on this basement door project).
