This week has seen us focusing on some of the more mundane aspects of the hacienda project. Fine tuning the irrigation, bed work and mulch installation have helped polish off the front. We are working on addressing drainage issues created by the new gutters. We have ordered new pavers to match the existing ones for the expansion of the back terrace. Railroad ties for creating the berm that will eventually house the water feature have been requisitioned. And today we begin the painstaking job of creating 28 2x6x12 crossmembers for the pergola top. Each has to be cut with a proper end, then filled , sanded and painted before being installed.
Steve, Jose and Primo are working on three little sod jobs on the east side of town, while Mike and Roland work in Windermere.
The prediction is for heavy showers this afternoon, but fortunately the carpentry for the pergola can go on in one of the two huge garages at the hacienda. I'll be going to ranch country to pick up the sod today and tomorrow and later I'm doing two little design projects for places in Winter Park and Altamonte Springs. It's not as exciting as doing a big installation, but everyone deserves a little help. And watching a team of highly trained monkeys working in your front yard in the rain should be at least mildly amusing for someone to see.
