Progress - and some things are done!

We are, perhaps, rounding the final turn to use a horse-racing analogy. The first picture is of the courtyard (barnyard) wall with the stonework now complete. The next pic is of the pool - waiting for the gunite to cure. Next week the tile and coping will be installed, weather permitting. Later, we'll add a picture of the wall behind the pool, from a new vantage point. Third today is the lower floor room in front of the pool. You have to like the wood - we certainly do. At the rear of the barn, the masons are 1/2 - 2/3 done with the stone facing. And finally, here is a look at the wall by the pool from the side of the barn. The curve is a welcome break to what otherwise are all rectangles. We are aiming toward completion in late August, early September (prior to landscaping). We may even get in a few dips before the fall frost.
