Front Yard Clean up & Starting to Frame! (6/15/13)

Today Mike worked on getting the back addition ready to be framed for the ceiling/floor and upstairs walls.  There was a lot to "get ready" and things removed from the house before he could start much.  We had a couple rain breaks and tested out the sump pump -- it works! So needless to say looking at it, it doesn't look like much got done. 

He got one board on that had to be bolted on through the screws mounted in the blocks

I worked on cleaning up the front yard now that the sidewalk is done.  I took out the grass that was close to the porch, dug out some river rock that was under the mulch, put down new mulch, and started to add dirt where the sidewalk was dug out too wide.

Working on my tan and muscles :)

He calls himself the "Helpinator" :)

Muscles!

It was a very dirty day! Stripped down to the diaper after the 2nd outfit was ruined!

I have no words for this kid! :)

Dueling wheelbarrows! He actually filled and dumped his each time I did mine!

Ran out of mulch & waiting for the rain water to dry out

Halfway done adding in dirt to fill in around the sidewalk

Totally beat at the end of the day!!
