A day-by-day, blow-by-blow, brick-by-brick account of the opening of our little box (not on a hillside) to the courtyard outside. A Summer 2008 Brick-Buster!

Our garden doors…Taa Daaa

We actually finished on the 23 of June, but I haven’t had time to blog about it.

I just couldn’t be happier with our new view of The Luna Garden in this little slice of Savannah. We came in under schedule, under budget, and overly enthusiastic. This makes my morning coffee a bit better and my early evenings a bit more glowy. And at night it just becomes magic.

The contractor and glass company I would highly recommend

Don Tyler Construction……912-691-2704

Atterberry Glass Company.912-964-7937

Look at all that sunshine coming in…Do the sunshine dance!!! boop boop walla walla boop boop…. woooo!

Rubble. Dirty, dusty, garden killing rubble. We loathe rubble. Any one who has ever done a major rehab knows what I mean. Rubble… hate it….get it out!

Gone! And now it begins the “construction” rather than “destruction” portion of this project. Yippy !!!! I’m already having my morning coffee thinking about having my morning coffee in front of our new garden window. mmmmm coffee’s good.

Oh, P. with an S. chaser.. Got a drive-by compliment today from our neighbors that live on the next block. Haven’t met them yet. Very sweet. And apparently the hubby is x-F.B.I. good to know. Also when I walked out my front door this morning a lovely French woman was walking her dog. She asked me, “Why is this place so beautiful?” I smiled for about an hour.

10 June 2008 | This Summer’s Brick Buster 2 (The Wrath of Sean)

Today, the poor bastards working for us showed up to find me acting like an idiot with their tools.

I got out of the way and the the men got on with their day. Taking out the wall brick layer by brick layer.

Two layers were removed and hauled out by wheel barrel…

…as Ken slept. The jackhammer gave him a migraine, so off to bed to sleep it off.
