3/4's of our new white picket fence part 2

This is a great view to show you where the roses will go. See that bit of grass? This is the only grass left in the front yard, and it will soon be replaced by lovely roses. Aahhh. Won't that be nice?Here is a shot of the front fence line. You can see that in this photo, the right side of the fence isn't up yet. It is almost all the way up now, only one more panel to go. The Dude has been traveling so much lately, he has to work on this is fits and starts, but I had to show you what wonderful work he has done so far.
Here is the driveway side. I am not sure if you can see parts of the treehouse if you enlarge this shot or not- let me know.

This is the front of the house, under the kids windows and showing off the window boxes the Dude built last year. They are a part of the library area of the basement, are carpeted, and lit. The kids have each claimed one of these, and have decorated them and filled them with books. You can also see the work he has done on the drains, and such, in order to help the water situation in the basement. I am proud to say, that although we did have minor flooding issues in the last storm, there was NO leakage on this part of the house! Yay!

Just because I needed one more photo for this post, here is my icky front porch. One thing we want to do this year, is to frame it in, lose the window to the Girl's room, and build a coat closet on the end. The new front door will be just to the left of the post.
Ok, there you have it!
