Front Entry Project and Halloween 2010

In order to sell our home we decided that we need a better front entry. Currently we have a front door to the lower level, but you have to walk around and down a steep hill to the southside of the home. There is a door to the upper level, but you have to walk up some stairs, over the garage, and then down some stairs (13 steps total) just to get into the upper level.

 We also decided to eliminate the chimney...what with our awesome 10 panel solar hot water system there really is minimal need for a chimney at this point. We will take out the chimney and this dormer window and create a nice Front Entryway into the house.

 Foundation work always takes so much time!

 This year was the first year I let the kids carve their pumpkins ALL. ON. THEIR. OWN. Absolutely no help from me (or Tommy!).

 The laid down newspaper and went to the other side of the house and set to work with their new pumpkin carving kits.

 Reeve carved the bat and Kyle carved the other two. The one on the end he did for Stella.

It was a fun night! We had our traditional dinner of PUMPKIN PIE! YUMMY!!
