Landscapers have been working on the grade, planting beds and new dirt (old dirt is bad!) We're getting closer to the courtyard being usable - looking forward to the party on the patio in August!

is it the start of the end?

We were really excited to get the concrete poured (wheelbarreled) in last week. What a difference it makes it the space! We're already out there twice as much as before. And to add to the excitement, Phil and the gang have started what we believe to be the end of the landscaping project...!!!! Yay! We might actually have a patio party by the end of July!


Exposed aggregate went in two weeks ago - it was just great to have pads at each of the doors.

Out of the dirt!


Here come the patios - to tie all the elements together.







Also makes a great dance floor!


So....is it a potting shed? Or a bar?

Mr. Bartender! I'd like a gin & tonic please!
