Sounds like a heck of a lot of work Wes! I guess we're spoiled back here in the Midwest, remind me not to complain next time I plant a couple bushes and have to pick a few rocks out of the hole I dug! Our good old black dirt has us spoiled!

All it needs now is garage doors, down spouts, some trim paint and a final inspection.

Stretching for the finish line. Garage doors are in and operational.

The three door look matches the three arches on the front of the house. I wish they were a little wider, but considering everything, I'm really please with how it turned out.
The approaches will be gravel for the time being, but will eventually be asphalt.Wes
