Week three is busy with everyone working in their respective areas. The ‘Spool’ crew has setup the appliances need to run a heated pool with jets, electrical and heat are connected, the ‘spool’ walls are tiled. The Spool is ready for plaster when all the soil is distributed to the correct beds. Artistic Concrete Surfaces set forms and poured the concrete base for the flagstone patio and shot and stamped the decorative patio. Next week look for pictures of the mason laying flagstone and attaching veneers on the fire trough and seating walls. Our Rosehill Garden Crew has been moving soil, placing boulders, creating dry creek beds, and prepping beds for trees, shrubs, and perennials. As we move through this project we continue to recognize the importance of communication and scheduling flexibility as the Fowler’s Independence Day Celebration gets closer.
Here are a few photos of the progress for the third week of installation.
