The Old House

Walkway achieved!

Its been a few months now but if you ever come over to visit, you can now walk up to our front door and ring the bell like any other normal house.

We have gotten the front mini-porch and walkway finished enough for immediate use, so come on over.

We decided to go with field stones in a pea stone bed as the materials for the walkway. The mini-porch is made of a mahogany decking floor and cedar rails.

A few of the field stones are monsters, they must weigh over 300 pounds easily. We moved them around on the ground using PVC pipe as rollers. It worked.

Now we have to see how it all holds up through a winter and with the temperatures taking a 10 degree drop while we are still technically in Summer, its going to be a strong winter. It feels that way to me, hope I'm wrong.
