Here's looking across the pond at the north wall where the new terrace is going to be.

Harvey, couldn't you have waited a few minutes to take the last picture. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif That fellow on the right is to busy to even smile for the camara. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's a shot of the men who've made this happen. They're quite a collection and each one has specific talents that are invaluable to the project.

Besides the client we have us an inspector that shows up on occasion.

If you look closely at the crew you can see a little fear in their eyes.

Here's the reason for it.

The client and myself really appreciate the effort and skill these men have contributed to the project. So today I cranked the camera up to maximum pixels and took some group pictures and then a couple of individual pictures of each man with the wall as the background.

I took the memory stick to CVS and they walked me through editing and printing the photographs. Each man has a couple of pictures of the crew, the wall, one of themself with the wall in a 5X7.

They earned a little recognition and a momento to take home for the kids and wife.

The project isn't finished by a long shot.

But the wall is 95 percent complete including the rocking. Tomorrow we'll start doing the coping with the sandstone cap.

I will be concentrating on this area over the next week.

We have to get the wall completed and the deck placed. The deck will be sandstone slabs out to the column.

There's also the matter of doing the raising of the spill way and creating the water falls with it's bridge.

This might help with trying to grasp the scope of this project.
