Some of it went into the crawl space, and some will be used to backfill against the outside of the block foundation. I asked John if we could have any stone that's left over for the alley between the hay and tractor sheds, because it's become so muddy there from the skid loader and the rest of the heavy machinery traffic. He said Steve would spread whatever's left, and he will add enough more to cover the mud.
Here's the side porch being taken down:
Stevie is collecting the insulation to use in his barn.
They started taking the wood to the fire pit at Stevie's house. As always, the less waste for the dumpster, the better! To that end, Anne Marie wants some of the windows from the old house and possibly some of the shutters that are stored in the barn. A friend of Marla's might be interested in some windows, too.
Marla drove me around St. Peter's Village to look at house colors, and then I met with Charlie to discuss the samples I painted on the house. I thought we would reach a decision today, but he wants to see some more trim colors first.
Charlie told me the Pella windows will take 6 to 8 weeks to be delivered after they're ordered. That's twice as long as we were first told, but it's because they close down the entire factory for 2 weeks at the end of the year. John will adjust the order of work so it shouldn't impact the overall progress too much.
