April 28, 1998. The masons started laying brick last week and the front of the main part of the house is done! It looks great. When the weather is good and they have a full crew they can put up a lot of brick! The rough plumbing, electrical and heating/air is basically done. As soon as the brick reaches a certain point the shingles can be finished and the house will be weather proof. Then insulation, drywall, and front porch can start! The last picture is Helen taking care of our 200 Leyland cypress trees. They have put on some noticeble growth this spring. Images from digital camera.
