Scooby do you have some large equipment to move the material? I was lucky in that regard.
sounds like you'll be busy.
thanks riptide, it's been a long 5 weekends! and the weather is not cooperating......

thought i'd update on the project. the weather has been wet, wet, wet, my
new rain gage shows over 8 inches in the past 10 days. tooo much

SO was really bugging to get something to be finished, lately we have been working on finishing
the outside of the patio along with a section around the back of the house that
was overgrown. that has all been dug out, leveled, and is now edged and we have
stone for mulch, with a few plants put in, along with a few misc rocks for decoration.
now it's onto the deck, stairs and railing..

with a large family gathering happening this past sunday, it meant I had to get on the ball and get some
more work done. Saturday I built the stairs, and on the 4th we finished up some landscaping around the
patio, put in some edging and then some rock for mulch, a few plants (more to come) and some larger rocks
for decoration. these pictures were sunday morning after we put out some furniture and cushions, painted
the wooden table and chairs. the party went well, and everybody loved the project. next up will be the
permanent railing/balusters and paint/stain of the deck and stairs. still have to finish the caps on the
block wall, and integrate some LED landscape lighting into the caps.

Very nicely done.

Thanks, it's coming together nicely. I am looking forward to enjoying it more, and we're to
a point now that we can. The rest of the detail work I can do when I feel like it, although
i should get the railing done soon.
if it would only stop raining. . . .
