It was hit or miss today, the original forecast for today had been 10% POP but, as can be attested to by my rained out bike ride, mother nature does not watch the weather reports. So some workmen showed up today, milled around a bit and then left. Some of the other guys came by to pull hay bundles across the foot of the driveway to ensure dirt does not get pushed out into the roadway by any pop up storms.
But the afternoon was largely rain free so the crew from Daco Stone showed up and finished the wall(s).
We were toying with having the back face of the wall by our boulder wall covered too but thought better of it and settled for a smoothing coat of mortar to give it a more refined look than the native industrial concrete
We also had the portion of the driveway retaining wall rock faced just to be consistent with the stamped concrete patio area that we now have as a “Cap” for the driveway.
Walking around the wall from the shed:
And overall…
Michelle is very happy with the look!
The way is now clear for them to come in and install the lanai. This should begin in a couple of days weather permitting.
