The guys came in and took out all of the mulch and plant matter.This is the name of the company who did the work.The took out the wooden steps and this is how they ended up.They hauled in two tons of sand.They used a lot of it as the base for the walk. As they […]

Hillside Prep For the Makeover

Steve cleaned all the “stuff” off hill and garden area for the guys to come work. They are putting in retaining walls and stairs. He took up all of the walkway and rocks. Last fall he removed all the ground cover so the hill was a little bare. It really looked terrible with everything pulled […]

Delivery Day

It Takes Talent To Roof A House

After watching the guys walk on the roof, carry the shingles, throwing and pulling up the shingles I think it takes talent. But then it might be they are not afraid of heights! They carried all shingles to the drop point. Then they threw it into the trailer. I can see myself going right off […]
