It was difficult to get a good photo of Rolando because he was always hard at work - by trade, he repairs shoes, but he's really good at working concrete - and he cleans up, too!
Doris was tricky to 'catch', as well.
As the project progressed, the pile of paving stones we had stacked against the wall diminished -
This is the 'almost finished' back patio - stones still need a final cleaning and flower bed needs plants, etc., but the hard part is done.
The project also covered construction of a concrete trough on the west (high) side of the house
The trough curves around the west side of the patio before the water goes down a drain & into the creek -
& this is the view from the living room out the front door - blue tarp was up because it started to rain --- more on paving the front in a later blog.
