    Thanks gents.
    Plants, lighting, maybe a cedar handrail along the steps still to do.
    Then there's all the re-laying of the old flagstone on the upper landing for the firepit area, but that will all be on me over the next few months I think.
    This was all supposed to be done before the shave GTG we had so I've lost 1 1/2 months of planned project time. Super happy with the final work, and the contractor, but lots will end up waiting till the spring now I think.

    Here's a little vid of the work done, and still to do.
    Was a nice day, so I dusted off the drone.

    Quite an impressive sized yard for a city dweller.
    Nice work on the yard. You will have to fix your green house up for the new laws coming into effect spring of 2018.

    WoW Mike - very impressive, nicely done!
    Was it your "summer project" or one of your honey do's?

    Thanks Shaun. Had to move north a ways to afford the size of lot we have now.
    That old storage shed would make a terrific greenhouse frame, hehe.
    I was just planning to tear it down, but come 2018, maybe Colorado Gold for three months a year..

    Still planning a use for all the torn down cedar rails, and the fire pit area will be up by the Willow with all the repurposed flagstone. Not sure how much more I can get done this season. Just going to tackle it level by level I think..

    And thanks, it was the summer face lift around the pool. The rest will be as time allows.
