Last week:
Wife came home from hospital, still nowhere near 100%, but gaining strength and mobility after 8 days in there.
A tomahawk missle hit the kitchen.

it took out the old cabinets and the silly ass 1962 construction bulkheads above the top.
New cabinets arrived as scheduled.

I caved and hired a contractor to install 10 interior doors and new kitchen cabinets I ordered. I never did much dry wall work and had trouble with prehung doors at the other place. And I want the summer off this year.
So I moved my crew over to the other place to finish the driveway we couldn't finish last year because I had 6 dumpsters there in the driveway.

Took all week to dig out and get level. I extended out a big parking space in front of back porch for me. Also, I'm putting 12" storm drain line under end of driveway at my expense. This would normally be a local township thing, but they didn't do that street yet and I'd rather buy the $450 pipe now than have them dig up the driveway later.

still have section of pipe to put in, the town engineer has been on site to approve the pipe slope for us, it's the least he can do for 60' of free pipe.

That's the exact same (unconnected) pipe that comes out of storm drain at beginning of the block. It's replacing the old 10" metal pipe my dad put under the driveway in 1959.
Hope to be done by next Saturday. Maybe.
Most of the set up grunt work is done, once you start laying pavers, it goes fairly quick.
I see light at the end of a year and a half tunnel. Finally. Maybe.
There's always a wish list, I'd love to have an outdoor fire pit. Lol.
