It was high 50’s and slightly cloudy and I raked out all but two of my flower beds and most of my property perimeter in preparation of having my leaves […]

there is always something to fix part 2…
By Adam in Exterior, Front PorchThe reconstruction of my front steps began yesterday and I’m very excited to be getting this taken care of. The steps have slowly been deteriorating over the past several years, with crumbling mortar and more than a few pieces of sandstone that were deteriorating themselves! My Dad and I did a bunch of patching work […]

I’m afraid they soon might become a hazard so I was planning on getting them fixed in the spring but the repair man […]
