Day 290 - Beginning to lay patio for firepit area and working on firepit top all with bluestone.
|
Day 290 - I poured regular concrete in the inside perimeter of the firepit and put an aluminum shielding. We'll see how it holds up with the few fires we'll have. |
 |
 |
|
Day 290 - The water hose holder was placed in the ground and a bag of cement holds it in place. It should hold up for several years - I hope. |
Day 290 - The area I'm digging will be elevated to accomodate all the bar stools. I placed all the bluestone in the seating area on the right, but it's now covered with stone used for the patio. |
 |
 |
|
Day 291 - I re-did the entire front area of the pool house and added the border around the second column. These will be seating height and a sandstone top will be placed on each.

Day 292 - OK, now we're still looking for a big leak in the pond. We decided to clean out the entire stream area. Lana is working on this ugly project. By next weekend, we hope to have that all completed!
|
 |
 |
|
Day 292 - There are a LOT of big rocks within the stream. After cleaning this out, I'll have to re-do the walkway within the stream
|
Day 292 - After all the rocks are moved. We'll keep this liner in and place the new one on top of this one, or take this one out and place it on top of the new one - most likely the latter.
