Outside of the House

Tonight, I finally got my house numbers onto the house. I don't have a power drill so I used some imagination getting those numbers through the wood. I marked where the screw would go through and then hammered in a nail. This gave me an easier way to get the screw through the wood. It worked great and a few mintues later the numbers were fastened to the post. My last photo of the outside of the house did not include the shudders. I like the contrast of blues - very happy with my choices too. Just waiting for the City of Calgary to approve the new grade of the yard. Once approved the order for the sod for the front yard can be completed. They added more soil in the backyard and left the area for the parking pad nothing will be added to that soil under next year. Hopefully, I will be able to get the deck built and then have a better idea how much sod if any really will be needed for the backyard and sides of the house. I have a narrow lot, so it could be deceiving right now, but after the deck is built I don't know how much space will be left over for green space. Time will tell next summer.
