House update

This is where the rock wall used to be. There is still a little bit there, but we got it all Also the tree in the background is now gone. It was very rotten in the center and we were worried it would crash into our neighbors cars

   We have been doing a lot of work on the house as well as outside. The outside stuff wasn't 100% planned, but now that it is mostly finished we feel a lot better about how things are coming along. Since our last house update we have dug up the backyard, put down conduit for new electrical lines (we had overhead, but feel that underground is a lot safer), refilled the trench, put in a new tank less water heater, filled in the extra basement windows with cement, restrung all water lines using pex pipes instead of metal, cut down a tree, leveled the driveway, taken out the rock wall, and put down gravel. It may sound like a lot of work, and you'd be absolutely right. Especially since Mitch usually only has one day off to work on the house. We have been really trying to get things done faster, but more stuff keeps getting in the way. For instance it is the fall and Mitch has been doing some hunting. Which isn't all bad. We have been able to visit with family a lot lately. Also in another post I'll mention our little vacation we took.

It took a lot of talking Maddi into getting into the mini-excavator, but she did it and eventually really liked riding with her daddy
