So...

I haven't been really good about updating lately, have I. Part of that is because nothing really exciting has happened. The only thing that has changed lately is that I am s - l - o - w - l - y getting the giant pile of concrete pieces reduced by using them to "pave" under the deck. Most of the dirt under the deck is crappy as it is mixed with construction debris so I figured I might as well add one more layer to cap it off. Tonight I finished up the part closest to the house which required me to crawl under the deck and to move chunks of concrete around while laying on the ground. Not that fun especially considering it is cold in St. Louis today.

In other news, the contractor is due back tomorrow to finish up a few things inside and to drop off the estimate for the privacy fence, deck/stairs for the side door, and new concrete (along east side & hot tub pad). I am hopeful that those things can be done in the next week or so. I need to switch my mortgage over from a construction loan to a traditional mortgage soon and I want those things done before I do that.
