Labor Day! Snow in the mountains!

Woke up this morning to rain here at the house but mountains had snow.  We rode up about half way to Hogback and they had 2-3 inches.
It rained most of the day yesterday so we didn't do much work on the house.  We spent most of the day in town getting Fred ready for his hunting trip this coming weekend.
On Saturday, Kevin and Michael came over and helped Fred with some of the work. 
Because of the change in the weather, we were not able to get the painting done but hopefully will be able to do it soon.
Shadow likes taking her bottles and playing the creek while everyone is busy working.

More Stonework

The slab for the garage and the front patio were poured this week.
Fred and Michael worked on the stonework Saturday.  Sunday Michael and Kevin came to help.
We had a wind storm sometime this week and it blew this big tree over the creek.

Stonework

Hot weather these days. In the 90's.
Fall is just around the corner though. Not unusual to get cold or even some snow in September.
Started on the stone work this weekend:
Got the new roof put on the old part of the house last weekend:
This week, a concrete contractor is going to pour a stamped concrete porch (9x11) at the front door. Eventually, I will build a gable roof over it but for now the roof will just be like this.
They are also going to be pouring a 28x30 slab for the new detached garage.
