Damn G I can't wait to see the final results.
Our comparatively humble operation nears completion. Having painted the interior and exterior, hung a ceiling fan in the master, hung a chandelier in the dining room, added a new electrical service that isn't a fire hazard, new exterior fixtures to the porch, garage, side, and back of the house, we wrap up with refining our back yard, starting with a new fence we built in cooperation with our next door neighbor.
What was once a paver patio is now flagstone and features a cedar pergola. This involved our removal of 12.5 tons of dirt and concrete, depositing of 8.5 tons of crusher gravel, and cutting and laying a few pallets of 1.5" thick redstone.
All that's left to do is putting furniture and fire pit back, hang market lights, and enjoy our new back yard until next summer's projects, which will include a garden, new windows, and central HVAC.

I'm assuming no structural implications since it looks plumb and G isn't hospitalized with apoplexy or a heart attack?
We broke in our new back yard with an engagement soiree. I can't imagine a better way of capping off a long project. We will have to think of a way to celebrate next year's projects.

Congratulations @mclaincausey and Brandi.

@mclaincausey Many congrats to both of you, but especially you
No structural implications thank you. The brickie came in the following morning and repointed everywhere he needed to….

Thanks much gents, she's far better than I deserve. The analogy used in the States is that I "out kicked my coverage."
Glad the rain didn't jack up the project!

Congrats @mclaincausey good to see two people so happy. Enjoy!

Nice man. New blood indeed if you grab it from the top

New wallpaper makes Benjamin dance

I like it. The dance and the wallpaper.

and the floor and the trim

Yeah it’s awesome. The wallpaper reminds me of the video game Qbert

If you already know the answer, why do you even ask the question, Giles?
Of course Julie picked it. You think she'd trust me to make decorating decisions?

Haha, one of those "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" scenarios? I dread the permitting and financial sides of the process the most. Once we have both in place is when I'll really get excited for the process. Next days off, I get to tackle some concrete removal to keep us within our allowed impervious cover limits.
Everything in the shaded portion needs to be removed:
Needless to say, I'll be getting some quality time in with a sledgehammer and this new toy:

Waiting for the Lyft. Really love the new paint.

Had a conversation last night about progress on the house and I found out that the plumbing fixtures that were "ready to install" two weeks ago were in a warehouse in North Carolina and couldn't be shipped until today because of post hurricane flooding. Who needs faucets, after all?
And the fixtures arrived yesterday. I suspect they weren't shipped when we were told they shipped. Two and a half weeks seems just a tad slow. But at least they're here. Now we get to see how long it will be before they're actually installed. I'm hoping before November.
Now if we could just get utilities connected…
