C-C-C-Concrete!

Since Boog and I are terrible at sitting, we decided the weather was right....it was time to tackle some remodel. Of course, we started with a big ticket - concrete. You might as well start off with a bang, right?

The first item was to tear out a rubbly area in our front driveway to make room for a smooth entrance.

The Freshly Minted Driveway
Then, due to our last remodel, our back sidewalk has been missing. We've been sidestepping to our backdoor for the past six months. We decided to fix that with flagstone.
The Base Layer of What Else? Concrete.

A Layer of Flagstone (landscaping to come later!)

And up next? Painting the brick. See the patch below? It was inspired by this picture of a very real house.....



This picture....I think it sort of looks like our house and I really dig the color scheme. I hope it looks good!


Last, comes a new roof. Then, with landscaping, I think the outside will be mostly finished! Then......the inside.

Like I said - we can't sit still long.
