Project 14: Designing and Constructing the Outside Environment |
|
Once the buildings were in some sort of order, the summer of 2010 was
dedicated to designing and constructing the outside environment to set
off the new buildings. |
|
The Gardens |
 |
|
2011 was the year that other outside enhancements were the focus. |
|
The Pergola |
 |
|
I get by with a little help from my friends.... |
|
 |
|
...and my handymen. |
|
 |
|
Finally, the men arrived to put some order to the blasted rocks....a
rustic stone wall and a stone field that we will turn into a firepit. |
 |
|
First, one bulldozer laid out the pile of blasted rocks. Then picked a
rock and handed it over to the wall building dozer. |
 |
 |
|
....who placed the rock in the right spot in the wall. |
|
 |
|
and nudged it into just the right
position. |
 |
 |
|
Here are the dueling dozers at work.... |
|
 |
|
And here is the good-looking, finished
rustic wall...we'll place loam and plants in the holes to finish the
look...succulents....lavender....russian sage.... |
 |
|
 |
|
...And the guys did a great job on
creating a curving walking path and completing the gravel driveway to
the top of the rock field. |
|
 |
|
Stand
by to see how we re-arrange the rocks in the rock field to create a
firepit for roasting marshmallows and dreaming dreams.... |
