Mike appeared with an irrigation person (Wally) and a landscaping person (John) to discuss the landscaping effort. The previous landscaper backed out of the project last week. We discussed the plan and they will be providing us with an estimate next week. We liked them and they appeared to be very professional. With respect to the water feature, John suggested we go by the water feature at St. Mary's Hospital and see if this is somewhat what we had in mind with respect to the rocks and approach. We did that and directionally, it is close to what we want. Ours will be on a different scale.
Mike and Nate continued work on the decking around the hot tub. They did not quite get it finished today. T talked with Mike about reducing the extension of the west porch steps as much as possible and about application of a sealant on the Tiger wood to help prevent stains.
Yesterday, Daniel finished installation of the tile. It looks good and Spenser seems to like it too.
Yesterday we also went shopping for some rattan furniture. T made her selection and it will be delivered Friday of next week.
The set includes a love seat, glider/rocker and a coffee table. It was supposed to have an end table, but they could not find it. So, T decided to get a wrought iron end table instead that has a wine bucket incorporated into it.
Frank and Tim were here yesterday and worked on things they could without shutting down the last old AC unit on the main house. Frank sent a note last night saying they may not be back this week but he was still hopeful they would have the new system in place before our guests arrive in two weeks.
We also stopped by the retractable screen place and arranged for John to come by Friday morning to evaluate the screen options for the two french doors on the sunroom.
