been able to start work until this week.\u00a0 Sadly, the temperatures are in the low 20&#8217;s, but they are out there working away.\u00a0 You might remember that it was 90 degrees when they did the courtyard.\u00a0 I took these photos from an upstairs bedroom so I could avoid going outside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter

fireplace, so, the landscapers had to dig a trench 18 inches deep from one side of the house to the other, including under the side walk.\u00a0 They also have to dig under the courtyard wall, tear out some of the new landscaping so the plumber can do the job he didn&#8217;t do in the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter

line that we ran for him during construction.\u00a0 Now that line is under our hardwood floors.\u00a0 It would have saved all of us a big headache.\u00a0 Of course, he said it wasn&#8217;t his fault.\u00a0 Sorry, but I might be a tad bit bitter.\u00a0 Luckily, we discovered the problem before the landscapers started so they could just fit it into their work.<\/p>\n<h2>Garage

let&#8217;s just say that in the world of garages, this one is really pretty.\u00a0 We had this kind of garage in our two previous houses, and we had this floor in our last basement and this
