August 2nd, Changes in the utility room

This little room, which is attached to the west end of the house, is our utility room. Until yesterday, there was a door in that solid wall you can see. It was on the north side of the room and when it rained hard, the rain would come into the room. The floor was too close to the ground where we have a water problem when it rains.


Our clever builder, Rick, decided we should move the door to the west end of the room, and VOILA, by the time I got back from town it was done. Amazing. There's no real door there yet, but you get the idea. I think it will be a much better location for the door. Plus they pulled the old wood burning furnace out and moved the gun safe out, so now we have scads of room in there for whatever. All that remains in the room now are the water softener tank and the hot water tank.


Vince, the concrete guy (and roofer), made the ramp into the garage yesterday. Denis is wetting it done so it will cure properly. Who knew concrete had to "cure". Not me, that's for sure. Notice the BIG dumpster that used to be at the side of the house is now gone. It did a good job for us but I'm glad it's gone.
