The current push for our hardworking crew is to finish and plant the Copper Crown garden area well before the end of summer. To accomplish this, a fairly long list of projects must be accomplished in a specific order. We also have to be mindful of frequent guests who are enjoying the adjacent suites, which means we can only do noisy tasks when the suites are empty.

The first item to be completed is the sculpting of the lower part of the outdoor fireplace. Having the fireplace fully sculpted made a huge visual difference! Next will be the plaster walls, rockwork and then the decorative pool. Our ambitious goal is to begin wheeling in the topsoil within a week or so. Stay tuned for the progress reports…
