Well, it's been awhile since the last update. Minor things happening like the deck being almost done, just need two pieces of stair railing to complete. Been putting down some sod where there was dirt and getting the driveway replaced. With all that we've still been putting stuff away. We are really trying to figure out where we had all this stuff in our old "little" house.
Some interior pics and a final update later. I will say the house is wonderful. The Wolf range has been more than I expected and the cork floor in the kitchen is fantastic. The tankless water heater has performed fantastic. It is so nice to fill the whirlpool and not run out of hot water. And two of us can take a shower at the same time and not run out of hot water.
Here's a couple of pics of the sod. This is actually the second load which consisted of 3 pallets. Each pallet holds 64 rolls. Each roll is 2'X5'. The first load was 6 pallets and I've since gotten 2 more pallets. Still need about 2 more pallets to finish the bare spots.

These are pics of the back yard. Most of the dirt area in the pic is now green. Good thing the guy said the green side goes up. :D
Next is the driveway. Here's a couple of shots after they tore the old blacktop out. The guys said the blacktop itself was really good, but whoever did the job didn't take the time with the base.
40752 40753
All torn up and getting some breaker rock and graded.

They really put a lot of the breaker rock down in front of the garage and in front of the little shed. Then it sat for a little over a week before they paved.
