Thought I'd let everybody know what's been going on up here, pretty much everything EXCEPT blazer building.
The biggest item (time and money sucker-upper) is our current house renovation:
After 15 years in this house it was time to do the kitchen over 'again'.
*Knocking out two walls, 1 interior and 1 exterior and adding 2 exterior walls and 1 more interior wall.
*Enclosing a porch and changing the entrance to the house to provide for a mud room.
This made for huge amounts of rip-n-tear, along with the necessity for a 14ft steel 'I' beam to create the clear span needed for the new space.
PART DUEX:
All at the same time, I'm having a 25'x8' retaining wall built/poured to repair/replace a previous redneck 2x2x4 concrete block wall installation that had no prevision for drainage and as a result undermined my foundation.
The good part though is that along with the retaining wall they'll also be pouring a parallel 25' footer wall.
Yeah, for the new garage!!
So that's the whole story behind the zero blazer progress...stay tuned.
