Projects during the Summer of COVID-19

 I was lucky enough to find someone to work with me on some of the exterior to-do list during this time.  Oscar from Gus Herrera & Sons Landscaping was recommended as a first-class paver crew, and the pics speak for themselves.  The care spent in the preparation of the site pre-paver was really off the charts.  The final result was pretty amazing.

 Always start with a plan. Things always change while it all comes together, but the initial plan makes the process of prioritizing tasks and purchasing of materials and big ticket items less of a random happening and more something that you can budget for - both from a time and money perspective.  I made this drawing / plan using Sketch-up, and went from there.

The dogwood tree, still in the Charlie Brown phase:

Gas to power the firepit is plumbed directly from the house. Nice.

Next summer (2022) will see a pergola top and carriage doors to replace the trailer window in the garage...
