Other than peeking in on the crew a few times, I never got a chance to help lay the courtyard pavers. My job was to do some design work, attend an afternoon meeting, and make final arrangements for my upcoming trip (tomorrow morning) to Tennessee for a farm convention. The crew worked hard and made great progress. The middle section of the paver is almost finished. That means each remaining tile has to be custom measured, cut and fit into place. It’s a time-consuming job, but the result looks fabulous! We are almost ready for the deck furniture. Stay tuned…
Courtyard bricks
Springtime in the sun is the perfect time to place the paver stones in the Under Hill Suite of the Hazelnut Inn courtyard. The first task was to haul in a layer of sand, then level and pack it into place. The boys then placed the small border bricks around the edge. They then marked a line in the packed base to set the larger bricks at a forty-five-degree angle. Tomorrow the crew will continue and perhaps finish off this exciting stage of the project. It won’t be long until it is time for guests to sit and enjoy the space.
Spring has sprung!
This week has been busy. Even so, there is always time to smell (or at least notice) the flowers. This week, the rain stopped, and the sun warmed things up just enough for Janis’s first spring flowers to pop out of the ground. I, for one, am more than ready for summer!
