Our Mountain Retreat

Looks great!!!! See what you mean about the diving board and I agree. Think they wanted a big splash!

Yep. Too much of a liability though...and it looked like a big tongue sticking out at you too. I'll be happy with a smaller ledge with a trickle down effect. Actually, the landscapers agreed with us once we explained our point of view. They're going to tear down most of it, relocate the unused rocks around the yard, and start over. They're a "mom and pop" shop and are super easy to work with.

Looking good!

Looking good!

Thanks Jim. Should look a little different tomorrow.

BTW, the "critters" are fine. Saw them sunbathing yesterday. Hoping they move on before the end of the week as the landscapers are going to be covering that area with flagstone.

Hi Former! Glad to see the forum back online. Hope all is well with you.

Well, not much has been done this week. The equipment building is up but not quite finished. Not much to show so I'll include pics next weekend. PB is a little behind, but we are scheduled for coping and tile starting Wednesday followed by equipment. Landscapers will be adding in the deck as the equipment is being installed. Wow, equipment. I can't wait. Plaster will have to wait as our temps are still pretty low in the evening according to the builder. We're hoping in the next 4 weeks, most of the backyard will be done! Ready for Summer!

Happy Easter everyone!

Well, I wish we had more progress than we’ve had in the past week. Only a bit of coping has been cut, and the equipment has been installed. No tile, gas or electric, yet. This is the first time we feel the builder has let us down. Seem to us that he’s chewed off a bit more than he can chew as he’s complaining he’s behind. We've seen him twice in the past month.

At this point, he’s now delayed the landscapers as they need the coping to be installed before they can install the flagstone for the deck and patio. Good thing it's still a bit chilly out...but it is getting nicer.

Hopefully, this coming week, they’ll start motoring and get everything back on track.
