Elisia measuring for framing of roof There was no leveling this old roof that had many years of slip-shod maintenence. We decided to make a shed-style roof over top -- 2' on one side and 4' on the other. |

Pouring concrete between hill and tire-wall We had hoped this wall would not leak water but it does -- we need to dig behind it and put in a proper french drain... |
