Yeah! The work started on Tuesday, August 10th and the half hip roof is going up right now! Only a couple of snags so far:
1. a potted shrub near the driveway got broken by a delivery truck,
2. a gutter downspout got dented by a dump truck
3. the City of Decatur Inspector initially failed the holes that were dug for the footings. The reason? The dirt was too soft. Hello! We're in Georgia! It's red clay!
After a soil engineer (who knew there was such a job?) used a static cone penetrometer (huh?) to determine that the ground was okay (and charged us of course), the work continued and it's been without a hitch since then. It's a pleasure to have Small Carpenters at Large back at the ranch!

Looks like much progress is being made on the new porch. Did you purposely take pictures withoutthe port-a-potty in view? :) The port-a-potty business is thriving in Marshall right now due to the oil spill in Talmadge Creek. Mom
