The House God Built was blessed with beautiful weather this weekend and we made the best of it by spending most of our time on outside projects. The sidewalks are framed and the driveway is nearly framed. We'll be scheduling our concrete pour soon and will post those plans here as soon as possible. Today we also were able to finish placing the gutter drains. These were connected with the perimeter drains to the basement and provide a means for rain to be quickly carried away from the house.
In addition to the concrete pour we have plenty of other items planned soon at The House God Built. On Monday evening we will likely do a bit more work on the backyard with the backhoe and we would also like to grout tile. That would allow us to seal the grout on Wednesday and then install doors and trim soon afterwards.
This weekend we will be doing landsculpting. I'm not sure if that's a word but it describes our plans pretty well as we need to sculpt the terrain to it's final shape, finish installing a retaining wall in the backyard, and generally get the property ready for more traditional landscaping plans the following week. You can help by coming on Saturday anytime between 8 am and 8 pm or Sunday from 1 pm until 8 pm. You can sign-up to help online or by calling our info line at 837-4047. Watch the blog for more specific plans for days and times.
