The Construction Begins
(Or should I say demolition begins?)
 
The Road To A New Family Room . . .
 
  | Here is what the back side our our house looked like before we got started.  The deck was really a nice size, but a headache to keep painted and clean. |  | 
But not to worry!  It is coming out!  The demolition has begun! |   | 
  | But this is just the beginning.  There is a long road ahead of us. | 
Well, that looks different!  We will be adding a family room on the right side of the house and the palm trees are just where I want the sofa to go. |   | 
  | We took the fence down so that the large backhoe could get into the back yard. | 
The truck arrived with the new palm trees that would be planted along our east fence row. |   | 
  | The first thing to move was the trees that were sitting where I want the sofa to go. | 
They were really large and heavy and had to be rolled over to their new location. |   | 
  | At last, they are raised into their new location. |
