New Home Pictures - Moved In!

These photos were taken not long after moving in (February 28, 1998), but after some semblance of order had been achieved. I don't recall the exact data of the photos, but probably March, 1998. Note: The quality of some of these images is not what I would like. This is mostly because I am remembering all the steps required to take good photos, once again. I have, where possible, enhanced the images to make more detail visible. In some instances, this has led to visible artifacts, which are not real. This is especially true in darker areas.

Desks and computers

My office - mostly work in here. The computers belong to my employer.

Outdoors

These photos show to do landscaping on an industrial scale. Our backyards were not finished off correctly, and so the builder moved some dirt from another lot into our yards. We were hoping that no home would be built on Lot 1 for some time, but this was started in January 1998. The lack of a home on Lot 1 meant easy access to our backyards, but that option was closing off, so in came the trucks, with the dirt.

This truck is backing past the new home on Lot 1. There was very little room to spare, with a rock wall and a drop off to the left, the house to the right.

Dump truck in back yard

The truck has made it into Lot 1's backyard, and is about to back up into mine. The driver needed a bit of a run up to make it over the rise between our two yards.
