House Project

We had a whole house inspection done on Friday because of selling the house. We got the results back on Friday night and found out that the house only did "fair". So with that there are things that we need to improve upon before the buyers really want to buy. We are still working on negotiations to see what of the things need to be done we will actually do.
But without finishing negotiations we decided to start on one of the projects. The back patio needed some attention. It was beginning to settle by the house. It was about an inch lower than it needed to be. So we started pulling up the bricks and of course one led to another and then 1/3 of the patio later we needed to get some sand to raise things up. It took many more trips to the store and many more hours than we thought. It is still not done, but already looks so much better!
James Hamilton came over and was a HUGE help!!! We would not have been able to get as far as we did with out him! And thank you so much Amy, Ella and Miles for sharing him with us!


Judson decided that while he was outside playing he should eat dirt. He ate many dirt clods but this was the biggest and made so much mud in his mouth.
Judson was very helpful moving all the sand around.
He also really liked to climb on the bricks that had been pulled out.
More sand play!
It was a very busy afternoon. It is so great that we were able to get so much done. It really is looking so great!! To bad we will not really be able to be around to enjoy it, but I hope that it helps us to sell the house and to be able to live together as a family.
Judson loved being able to play outside so much to day and to make such a mess. He was so funny exploring the sand and all the tools that were out.
