Ruins no longer in ruins





WE'RE DONE!!!! We put the last brick on the last pillar this evening at 7pm and then turned around and took a look at the finished product...and we are pleased. Six weeks straight of laying a brick aisle way, building stone walls and raised flower beds, building and erecting pergolas and spreading stonedust and we are so happy its over! The entire project really started at the beginning of the summer with removing all the stuff that was in the area to begin with, but the last six weeks was where the real work began. We are seriously taking a break from "projects" for at least a week.
I'm posting a couple of pics of the finished project and one in which I am standing in the exact place where the brick pillars are now, which I took on the very first day we looked at the property to purchase, Sept 29, 2006. Wow, hard to believe its been just under three years since we found this place, courtesy of the B&B assocation. A special thanks to Brent's parents who showed up every day for the last six weeks to be our "work" crew. We couldn't have asked for a better crew or better parents.

Now-Bring on the wedding bells....
