A lot of progress has been made at the renovation project we're following recently, both inside and out. During the construction process, a portion of the perimeter property wall was removed to facilitate equipment and materials coming in and out during the construction process. This will be re-built as soon as the larger opening is no longer necessary, but before that happens, the large plant specimens will be brought in. Though this may seem premature, bringing them in at ground level will be much easier (and less costly!) than craning them up and over the wall.
This area will be cleaned out and graded for the plants that will arrive tomorrow!
Meanwhile, after the footers and retaining walls were completed for the patio and back door landing areas, the steps have been formed. The blue flexible tubing will be for low-voltage wiring that will power step lights. The steps and landings require a good deal of thought and planning to be sure they will be the proper height once the surface materials are installed.
The entry steps to the back door have been partially excavated as well, and will also accommodate a step light. They will be a slightly different size when complete, and will be covered in the same pavers and stone as the pool decking and patio.
Simultaneously, a new sunshelf and steps have been created in the pool, the coping has been completed, and the planter that backs up the pool has been re-formed. This back wall will contain a new water feature when completed.
On the inside, cabinets are going in the kitchen now. Just wait till you see!
