House completed

Here's the house just before the move last Wednesday, taken with the new Lumix camera B gave me for my birthday. The house is complete and ready for occupancy, the landscape is about half done.

Michael Shea is our landscaper, his guys Kevin and Roger are building the stone walls using Pennsylvania Flats. The wall along the driveway replaces the one from the previous house. The walled garden beds below the front porch also serve a functional purpose: they reduce the drop off the porch to 18", so we don't need a safety railing across the front.

The front walk will be made of the S&H bricks from the back porch of the old house.
