Landscaping

So the landscaper has finally been allowed to work by Mother Nature. He brought his equipment in late last week and began work Monday. Yesterday's report from our vice president of projects was good. So far there is a new trail down to the creek that the V.P. was able to drive his truck down. We also have a bigger, more level parking lot than what was there with better drainage. He also built a "bridge" over one of the drainage ditches out of two massive boulders he unearthed while working. So far our landscaper has been great and has thrown in "little" freebies like that. He took a lot of interest in walking the site with us and listening to us explain what we were looking to accomplish.

Work is supposed to go into next week and will include new outdoor stairs, grading and better drainage of the "mud field" and fire pit area as well as backfilling in behind the barn.

I can't wait to get up to the site Friday to see it with my own eyes. If I'm not too distracted, I'll hopefully have pictures to post afterwards. I was told I won't recognize the areas that were already worked on. Nice.

Oh, I also think I failed to mention that we now have four cabins on site. One is the personal cabin of one of the owners. Three are cabins for general use and will sleep 6-8.

Things continue to move ahead!
