New Front Patio

With the help of Nathan and Rick Greenleaf and John Rohner, the new drainage trench was completed the 1st weekend in October. This allowed for the front steps to be reset and for the patio to finally be loamed and reseeded. This completes the major overhaul of the front of the house with the dormers getting a face lift in July by Dennis Olson during the reroofing process made necessary by a leak in one of the dormers.
Nathan was home on leave and is moving to Fort Bragg in Upstate NY before a return later this year to Afganistan. It was a 10 hour day of rolling the granie steps on rollers back so the backhoe could dig the trench. After lining it with rubber and filling with 1 1/2" stone, we reset the steps and finished the project at dark.
