For the Record - In The Beginning



These photos are from the first group of photos I took of the house during the period of time after the owners accepted Becky's offer but before Becky closed on the house. That was April, 2006.

The top photo shows the large stacks of brick on the left side of the house and the brick parking area on the right side. I have re-stacked, moved, stacked, laid, picked up, stacked, moved, re-stacked, moved again, and re-stacked this pile of bricks. I think they now qualify as "tumbled" brick because they've gotten a little worn.

In the bottom photo a few days later, the alley and half of the yard is under water. I had forgotten there was a fence behind the house across the alley.
