man, we leave the gate open once……

Things are moving along quite nicely in the backyard wonderland.  Trees are in and we are ready for concrete firepit pad to be poured.  Look!! We even used some pre fabricated concrete blocks to make a…. wall!!  That’s going to make a nice seating wall at the fires edge.  Man, it’s backyards like this that can take the edge off a crappy day!  At least Dave likes it!

Don’t be angry because this looks so awesome.

kinda looks like the Burton logo

here we’re framing walls to shore up the dirt in preparation for the…(wait for it)…. pool!!!!

Phil is as tough as nails.  Look now as he eats a screw while placing a concrete wall form as he’s suspended 30 feet off the ground

these here rocks are going to be used on this here job, making it: purdy.

Ed: 75 and can run the pants off any one of these young whipper snappers you see here. And is available weekends for birthday party’s and gatherings .

Derrick: does all our engineering work for us.  Here he is making a bigger better hydraulic coupler.

Randy Mac: loves country music and is explaining why indie music and punk is for kids……mmm I think thats backwards….anywhoo, he likes music

Ryan: our Vet landscaper (haha, mitchell is drinking beer)

Arron: loves this picture.

Mitchell is a goof and this is what people do from Phoenix……. love this guy

What can you say about Ryan that we haven’t already said?  He has crazy cutting skills?

you know, I’ve never been a fan of manufactured rock.  Probably because the colours are lame and they look fake.  We recently stained some rock for a customer and are pleased with the results.  Have a look see…:

a real rock

a face rock stained

a manufactured rock waterfall stained.  The idea is to use the correct dark stain, and acids to achieve the rust oxide markings in brown tones…. I think.
