    First stage complete!

    The long term plan to pave the top of the terraced part, and there will be another retaining wall, planters and more stairs towards the back of the terraced part.

    In the short term, we'll let grass grow up there and plant some trees.

    We also leveled the path to the side of the house, put down some gravel and pavers. I don't have a before photo of the side of the house, but it wasn't pretty.

    Afterwards we celebrated with Cold Rock on the steps:

  • Wow.  Does your Dad want a 'vacation' in NC?

  • No no no, he needs to vacation in Michigan!  I'll feed him lots of good food! 

  • Looks good. Can't wait to see the pics with the plants...

    Sorry haven't commented for a while... Have just been lurking in the backgrounds, but have decided to start actually commenting and writing again....

    I was just wondering... I remember you used to do the Japanese glass beads. Can you tell me some more about where you got it from or the process or anything (my mind is like a seive). My mum is interested in it as she loves using the glass beads. She was telling me about a microwave kiln that she bought. Sounds pretty funky.

    Peace and love
