SNEAK PEEK

Last Thursday we had to make a quick trip out to the ranch. I snapped a couple of pictures of the back porch. This is after I had them tear it apart and start all over. They should have the big posts set into the stone columns by now (those in the picture are just temporary supports) and they should be stained. See what I mean? Can you imagine those lower stone bed walls coming in to steps that are only 4 feet wide? Soooooo glad I changed that.



They were still working on the flagstone path and the two patio areas last week. The metal guy couldn't get through to the back yard with his welding machine (for the deck footing) because the side was blocked with stone. The deck is going to be on that rock outcropping at the edge of the lot.

The fireplace is going to be at the back there on the left. The stone is covered with dust and crud. It won't look so white when they are finished and it is cleaned. It is darker than the house stone.

Had problems AGAIN getting my pictures on the computer. Last night Tex finally got around to doing whatever it is he does tweaking this relic so I can do whatever it is that I do. This post would have been done days ago if I hadn't had problems. Aaarrgh! I don't need a new house..........I need a new 'puter!!!
