OK, so I'm a little late on getting this posted, and I'm in a hurry at the moment so this will be a quick one. I hijacked the photo gallery in my wife's blog to upload a bunch of construction pics:

Progress so far - we now have the masonry done, so concrete will be going in over the next 8-10 days (forms this week, wet stuff next week). I spent last night demo'ing the ugly green fence in the pics, so tonight I'll post some of the finished masonry without the fence in the way.

More details and inline pics tonight....
