Crunch Time

It is now officialy crunch time. The appraiser will be here May 7th and the transfer process has officially begun. That means hitting the house harder than ever before...this weekend it was literally "extreme renos". The excavator came for Fri/Sat and Cliff and I finished the fence Sunday. Saturday was by far the busiest day with Connor, Keith, myself and the excavator working a 12hr day.

We started first with the big mound of dirt in the back yard...gonna miss the ol' thing...













Time to get rid of the old fence...







Cliff didn't know what to think with it all gone. Hey, at least his gate still works!




The big pile was dragged out to bring the back yard level up




The cat was oblivious...




I was the concrete man...used the mixer and transported what seemed like a hundred barrows of the stuff




But it sure as heck was worth it...










The front yard was no smaller a challenge. Got a whole pallet of landscape ties and Connor and Keith went to work...










What a grand entrance, this on it's own should sell the house...
