Morning routines .. all is well... 

...but the weather front has stalled and last night's drizzle and mist continues, once again thwarting the work of painters and landscaping crews for the day.

Sherry on site. SY errands, meetings, telephone, catastrophes--you name it!!

Clayton & Son, Inc. did manage to drop off a load of topsoil for replenishing the disturbed areas where large trees have been removed.Which we plan to do when the weather clears up!!

Stephen & Susan made a trip to Ivy Nursery to pick out flower arrangements for the Main House for Friday's reception. (Pics tomorrow)

Jeff Gray (C&G Paving) on site for final questions about resurfacing Farm House lane.

Mountain Lumber Co. came out to pick up the old fencing boards. In our efforts to be good stewards (recycling) and make a few pennies on the dollar, we contacted them about retrieving the old fence boards rather than send them to the landfill. They will use most of the lumber to make "old oak flooring."

Step#1- plumb and epoxy the base pieces, requiring 2 men to lift. Step #2 on Thursday will be to set the large urns -requiring a front end loader and 3 men!!
