The week after Mom & Dad left (middle of June) we began a few projects that have been talked about for quite some time. The first was a cement pad for the dog kennel & house to sit on. Since we first got Carman her kennel has been on a pad made up of cement squares. This worked for the first while but these squares don't always stay level & the weeds have a way of growing in between. It started to look messy & was hard to clean - so with the help of our neighbor & friend, Harvey, a pad was framed & poured. At the same time we poured a pad for a hot tub just beside our deck. I found a used hot tub on Craigslist and we couldn't resist the great deal. Both of these jobs are complete & Carman & our family are enjoying the finished project. When this was done we began work on a "garden shed". We do not have a place for our 4-wheeler, riding lawnmower & wagon, etc. and things were just sitting in the elements not getting any nicer looking in the process. On the south side we have plans for a "lean-to" greenhouse, but that is still in the future plans. The framing part was the work Henry's brother Andy. This was a little job for him - done in a Saturday. It's great to have talented family & friends. Here are a few photos of the progress that has been made so far. Henry's learned a lot & is enjoying finishing it up somewhat on his own.
