Some big things happened this week, foremost among them the concrete was poured for the driveway, walkways, and rear patio. Porch trim/lattice complete in front, starting in back now. Stair treads being cut to size and screwed down. The glass shower door & hardware were installed in the master bathroom; need to get a pic of that.
Front stair riser and walkway forms.

It is kind of hard to see, but we do in fact have fescue coming up in areas that haven't been trampled since first seeding.
Getting the turnaround pad ready for concrete.
Looking up the driveway from the street. It's about 160 feet from street to rear of pad.
Cute little patio!
Walkway connecting patio to outdoor shower, garage service door, can pad, and driveway.
There's Andy working on the stairs for the screen porch.
Here we go! Pouring started with the patio and they worked their way back out.
After first-pass smoothing.
This crew worked their asses off for over ten straight hours. Cyndy bought 'em a case of beer at the end of the day, and it didn't last long!
Looking toward the shower and the patio beyond.
Front walkway being poured.
Every inch of concrete was meticulously floated, smoothed, brushed, and grooved to allow for expansion. The crew did a hell of a good job.
Nice flare at the end where the walk meets the driveway.
Big pad being poured.
The components for the front porch metal roof arrived too, and will be installed on Saturday. The exposed color is the darker gray.
