A quick update with some more photos! Eric completed our front porch a few weeks ago (note that the gutters drain inside the columns!), and since then we have been racing the clock because the porch was Eric's last big ticket item and now he has moved on to other, non-Harvey-related jobs...meaning that the completion of the house is now in our hands. We miss Eric and his crew, so we try not to dwell on it. He'll be back to finish some work on our pantry and some other little things at a later date.
Randy has been working on the "sunroom." This is the small room that sits just off of the living room and that was originally designed as an exterior sleeping porch. We have carpeted it with a remnant we were giving by one of my friends, and we bought a couple of consignment shop chairs and now it serves as a TV/game room.
We also had 4 yards of topsoil delivered just this weekend. The whole family spent Saturday smashing up and moving clay in order to get the grading right, and then today Randy hired a day laborer for 4 hours to help him disperse all the topsoil. It's looking pretty good, but we'll have to get some grass seed down soon.
