Step by Step

This summer we've been working on relandscaping our front and back yards (what were we thinking?!). For the past several weeks we have been without front steps and have been entering and exiting the house through the back yard. But this past week, our new stairs were installed.

The first picture shows what our house looked like about 2 years ago, before Kelly built the front fence. We had old loose railings & cracked, sloped front steps.

The rest of the pictures show the work that is being done. New wood stairs, new wood railing, new stone wall and stone stairs. I am really looking forward to sharing the final "after" shot when our house looks normal again. Well, not just normal...beautiful!

We are trying to match the wall on the south side of the property. The wall in front is original (circa 1913).
