brays blessing
what's going on now?

 
driveway & walks poured
these spaces are expansion joints
to be layed with brick to
make an attractive walk & drive

extention of outdoor living space
(which has an outdoor fireplace)
this will have a firepit
made of stone & outlined with brick 
one of the last things done is the brick/stone
mailbox & post light
it waits until last because of the electrical line
that must be run out to the street
plus there is less chance that a truck
or other equipment will back over the structure
also last is painting the garage door
to match trim of the house
as to not have this high traffic area "scuffed up"
some builders leave them white
but it's much nicer & custom
to have it match the house

 beginning to look like
home sweet home
