Keeping character, or restoring a pond

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( ...I noticed the one in Denton. )</font>

That one in Denton at So. Elm and Ft. Worth Drive is a bit of a hazard. They built it in 1997 and I used to drive by it all the time going to my place there. Since I drive a diesel, I'd have to be really careful because those guys would jump right out in front of my pickup thinking I was there to get some help. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Bird, in Lewisville, don't they still gather at Pancho's Restaurant on the east side of 35E? Seems that's what I remember...

Same location, Jim, but Pancho's closed up a long time ago. At least it hasn't been there the last 2.5 years.

Last night when I got in my system was down so I just surfed a minute and then crashed.

This morning I was fine but the network was down, hence no pictures.

Yesterday morning, north terrace-patio-deck, etc.

It took forty five mixer loads to the east side beam, total of about a hundred feet. We started the mixer after lunch.

The north side patio-deck-terrace is going to pretty when it's done.

Today we got the block laid.

Three of them laid it out and put down the first course before lunch. After lunch one man finished it. I mean finished it. I brought him sand and cement and block as he needed it. He mixed his own mud, cut his own block, did it all himself, by himself.

Tomorrow we'll put up the stone facing, grout, and maybe be cope it.

Hopefully before the weekend we'll get the big slabs of sandstone in to make the walkway up to the trail above the terrace. We also hope to have the flagstone deck complete by then. Of course before we lay down the flagstone we'll have to put down the concrete for it to lay on.
