lots of work this month! replaced the old concrete retaining wall (off behind and slightly to the right in this pic,) with happy fieldstones.
the concrete we removed. lots more came out (three truckloads, to be precise) in the form of rubble, scree, and debris.
we also destroyed a good portion of the inside wall of our screened-in porch. here is where the old door is. we are closing that off and will be putting in a new door here, which is just off the dining room. the eventual goal is remodel kitchen.
