Landscape project: day 18

Aug 18, 2006 – 22 Photos

Day 18: Plants are in. Sprinklers and lights are both in and working on timers. Equipment is all gone and the site is clean. All that’s left is some tile repair (see previous post) and sealing the tile. And planning the party.

Day 17: More plants are in, and the crew finished adding mortar to the tile cap in back. Unfortunately during the process of putting in plants in the front courtyard, two tiles along the walkway were cracked. They’ll be replaced before the tiles are sealed, which should happen this week sometime.

Day 16: The end is in sight! Plants were delivered and some were actually planted. I let Watson and Linus out on the balcony to watch and of course they immediately jumped to the lower roof, but they couldn’t go anywhere from there so I let them wander around. I also got a couple of close-ups of a very large spider who has established residence below the balcony.

Day 15: The concrete cinder block retaining wall gets stuccoed, and a thick bead of mortar is applied to the front overhang portion of the cap tile. The back overhang is still bare, for now. Also, electrical outlets are installed both front and back.
