One House Project Down

Just had to take a minute to brag on my husband & be thankful for his hard work! When we bought this house, we knew that we had to do some exterior improvements...or else face foundation problems down the road!

We had a structural engineer come to our new house during our "option" period, and he strongly recommended that we have the french drain line removed & replaced with a better yard drainage system. The bids came in at about $2700-$3000 for materials & labor. WHOA!

So, thanks to Greg's willingness to do some manual labor & no fear of hard work, Greg decided to tackle this project himself!

Materials ran us a little more than $500, so Greg's work saved us anywhere from $2,200 to $2,500! WOO HOO!!!

Greg had some help too from my stepdad, Mark, and he had to work around the weather & Greg's work schedule. So, Greg finished up by covering up the last of the new drain pipes about a week ago, and we can cross off one house project off our list!!!
