Outside Changes

Things are going along relatively swimmingly at the summer kitchen, and the end of all the construction is beginning to feel like a near possibility. Here's a glimpse of things on the outside...

You can see the deck up above and the start of the retaining wall down below



The stones for the retaining walls are from the foundation of the part of the house that was torn down.

Putting it in place



the almost finished wall to the left of the basement doors



the start of the wall to the right of the basement doors
