Foundation pouring for the walkway areas begins today.

September 24 -- Realignment

On second thought, we've decided to square the widened walkway up with the door. Designs for an expanded porch landing are underway, because we just can't conceive of finishing this renovation.


The walk originally led to three steps which were where the exposed block is shown below.

The improved walkway will also be about a foot wider than before.


Here the same angle, but with an Inspector included for scale.
