This gorgeous autumn weather has inspired Joel to beautify our outdoor living space before the snow flies. After Rusty and the crew finished the walkways and patio, Joel got several loads of medium size creek bed stones and created rock gardens on both sides of the house. We may or may not put in small trees or bulbs in the coming weeks. Another option is to place pots with annuals on the stones in the spring. He also got a load of dirt which he used to back-fill up to the new concrete and then he planted grass. He had to chase the dogs off of the mound when it was time to spread, though! Two decorative trees now adorn either side of the lakefront sliding glass door.
A lot is going to be happening up at the house this week. The spray foam insulation guys will be there today and Matt, our sheet rock specialist, has been up several times to measure for his job. He and his team plan to get started on Saturday!! In preparation for these 2 somewhat messy jobs, Steve rented a van to sit in the yard for a month or so and had Larry and Brian load it up with all of our bathroom fixtures and any superfluous "stuff" that was lying around. This way we protect our valuables and create a clear path for the next phase.
In the meantime, the trusses and posts have been delivered for the garage which Steve staked out a few days ago. SO EXCITING!
