I'm digging the brick!

Thanks for all the props. We are working like crazy getting our place picture perfect.
Sherri is amazing. She is the only helper I have ever had, male or female, that can keep up with me for a whole day doing manual labor. For the first time since before she donated a kidney to Zack, we are both healthy enough to put in a full day's labor. Because of my day job, the manual labor stuff is my therapy. We did a room addition 4 years ago and terraced the back yard into 3 levels, installing 400 ft of retaining walls. Because of the terracing, we didn't bother putting fence back up. But... we are not up to code, so are having to get creative with the fencing, and will be working on that this weekend.

The brick is her favorite part; that and the old wood floors. Place was built in 1893, and best we can tell there is no framing. There is a huge double threaded rod with a turnbuckle going through each end to stabilize the side walls. The building is 103 x 33. Those brick walls are 15 inches thick up to about 12 feet high, and then 14 inches thick above that.

That would be great. In fact, why don't you just &quot;store&quot; that gorgeous 66 with us for a year or two... and make sure you leave the keys.

We met our deadline... barely. I finished up the last gate last nite while the photoger was taking pics of the other side of the house.

My angel of a wife ended up with a severe rash working outside so much, so for about a week whe was relagated to indoor duty.

We used a consultant who didn't like the wall paper in the kids bathrooms, so we redid those two rooms textured and painted. She wanted a microwave to matche the high end double ovens, so I was installing a new built in microwave at 11 pm Wed. nite.

Lots of 12 and 14 hour days. Still had to make some time for the office, as well as a charity breakfast Wed. morning. We are beat. Only things left are cleaning and organizing the garage, installing a couple of gate latches, and replacing a light bulb.

Goes on MLS today, and the first showing is today.
Keeping our fingers crossed.
