In the background around the curve of the driveway and the grass we are going to have a retaining wall from a foot to about 2 feet high built around the front yard and then fill it in with some good fill dirt to somewhat level it out, it won't be completely level but a lot more than it is now. Also there will be a small one from the steps to the garage where I'm standing when I took this picture.
As you can see there are a few logs on the dormer that are a lot lighter than the others, I guess they forgot to put the Wood Guard on those. I don't have a ladder yet that will reach the porch rood so I had to climb out the window to get to them, I went ahead and coated all the logs on the front and sides of the dormer since it gets all of the sun. Also I had to reseal around the chimney account there was a small amount of water leaking down the outside of the chimney in the living roos when we would get a real heavy rain.
