There's an end in sight





Okay, things aren't moving as smoothly as I would hope... but the end is in sight. I have decided to cut bait on my the pergola for right now. It has been too difficult to get the wood on site and I think it is something I can come right back and do soon. For now I'd like to wrap up my work with my contractor and get my yard back for myself - I could use a dose of backyard privacy now. I have most of my plants on site and am starting to put them in the earth. The fishtail palm is my pride and it took 7 men to get it in the ground. It really made the project "instant landscape" when it made it into the planter. We should wrap the decomposed granite tomorrow and finish getting the plants in the earth over the next day or two. The spa comes on Thursday and hopefully we can button up this sucker by the weekend.
