Stone Dust Saga...

People in our neighborhood have been very busy with their home improvement projects… typical springtime behavior. My sweetie who walks the dog everyday gets the scoop on everyone’s projects and monitors their status. One project that he is particularly interested in is the neighbor down the street who put in a flagstone walkway and terrace. And the next thing I know, we go from this… which is fondly referred to as Weed Heaven! An absolute mess with bad dirt and no redeeming qualities!

To this in just a few short days… This is now the view out my front door. Steve from Tonga (pictured above with the hat on) does beautiful work. He hand cut each piece and fit them together like a puzzle. Here is another view from a slightly different angle



All I can say is amazing… But wait, it’s not over… the dust still hasn’t settled …. And then Steve says to Eric such a deal I have for you…. And the next thing you know, we go from this…



Bumpy uneven falling apart brick work....

To this in just a few more short days The new view from our back deck….
Simply amazing! The dust still isn’t done, but we are coming down the home stretch with just a few finishing touches left. I can’t wait; I really am ready for these projects to be done so I can enjoy these beautiful new places to sit without the dust!
