(although this is nothing compared to early this morning - we had taken two trailer loads of wood to the dump by this photo) Try as we might we could not find anyone who wanted firewood in the short time we had to find a home for it. The drainlayer is coming on monday so we need to have the backyard clear for him. I am informed tonight that two more truck loads of dirt will be trucked away, with large pit left that will be filled with scoria to collect the water that runs off from the house/driveway etc and eventually dispersed into the ground, rather than flowing above ground and into our neighbours property. <br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAm4khaHeaI/AAAAAAAADJA/xrxxeZ_hSu0/s1600-h/IMG_3591.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190882983103920546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAm4khaHeaI/AAAAAAAADJA/xrxxeZ_hSu0/s400/IMG_3591.JPG" border="0" /></a> Tomorrows job.... cut and move the rest of this wood and tidy up the backyard in preperation for the next big mess to be made!<br /><br /></div>Logan and Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02188399962884083967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545679733372913193.post-82080275547836900362008-04-16T13:34:00.001-07:002008-04-16T13:41:28.048-07:00Extension has been started<div align="center">The house is coming along really well.. the framing downstairs has been done - its very cool to be able to define the rooms now.</div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189944621111500882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjIqlM4FI/AAAAAAAADH4/RnMTqPtSN5c/s400/IMG_3511.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjpKlM4KI/AAAAAAAADIg/CySraTsodnw/s1600-h/220.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189945179457249442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjpKlM4KI/AAAAAAAADIg/CySraTsodnw/s400/220.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"> The framing for the extension out the back is done and the deck/carport has been started.<br /></div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjI6lM4GI/AAAAAAAADIA/dBJIkUsOZEs/s1600-h/IMG_3562.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189944625406468194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjI6lM4GI/AAAAAAAADIA/dBJIkUsOZEs/s400/IMG_3562.JPG" border="0" /></a> Looking good!<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjI6lM4HI/AAAAAAAADII/-ohtvOpoRlM/s1600-h/IMG_3563.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189944625406468210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjI6lM4HI/AAAAAAAADII/-ohtvOpoRlM/s400/IMG_3563.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjI6lM4II/AAAAAAAADIQ/pJyhEO29geA/s1600-h/IMG_3564.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189944625406468226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjI6lM4II/AAAAAAAADIQ/pJyhEO29geA/s400/IMG_3564.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjJKlM4JI/AAAAAAAADIY/ghg4kL0FsZE/s1600-h/IMG_3572.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189944629701435538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_16_dSFBq3Hk/SAZjJKlM4JI/AAAAAAAADIY/ghg4kL0FsZE/s400/IMG_3572.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Logan and Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02188399962884083967noreply@blogger.com0
