This is the north east corner. Finally put that porch on with a lot of help from my Dad.
The retaining wall took a couple weekends including the underground drain tiles. Leveling the bottom row of stones is crucial to get this to look right. Turned out to be worth the effort.
These are the cabinets built in 1964 for my parents house, the removed them in 2002, (at least that was the last packer schedule on the pantry door.) I moved around for a long time before I finally installed them in 2011.
Finally I took shot at the stonework on the chimney. I was right, it looks awesome. And so went my first masonry job.
