|
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.... |
