Wayne! Sweet! Bet you're a little less freaked out now by all the "bad" contractors.... you had to deal with before this finally got started.

Greg Your 100% correct. It was a blessing in disgise. We were discussing two types of water table board and his worker went to check out acouple of different kinds. When he got back he was telling me the prices of the two and Greg told him not to mention the prices he wanted me to get thew one I wanted without worring about the price. He would have saved money on one of them but got the one I wanted reguardless of price. He's really great to deal with.

Looking great! What are the plans for the driveway to garage floor approach? Raise/slope the new driveway?

I might cut it back towards the street and make the slope longer to lessen the pitch. I'm not sure if I'll use asphalt of concrete but that won't be until spring after it settles. For now I might put some stone in to keep the dust down so the wife can get in there.

Personally I would do whatever I could to keep the driveway flat. There's nothing like a flat driveway! With adequate runoff of course. However, at the street you don't want the approach so steep you can't get a lowered Camaro in there without dragging the headers! If it works out to raise the drive, the approach is doable, and the front yard just needs more fill to bring it up....well you know what I would do!

I have some progress pictures from yesterday and today. Yesterday they worked on the left side of the garage and did some work on the porch.
Here are some pictures.







Here are some from today They put in the gable end vents and vinyled the top peak and the side near the front door. and did some work on the porch cieling.











Here's what it looked like at the end of the day.
