The Wall is Done

Nearing completion. Here's Bob moving a few last big rocks as son Jeff and nephew Steve look on.












Jeff, who has been working with his dad some time, knows to get out of the way. Wonder if Steve will figure it out quickly?












Scottie's buddy Ben came up from San Diego for a bike race and visited the site. Ben is a geologist and gave us a bit of a free geology lesson about the rocks. He says we have the history of the Sierra in our wall.











So - drum roll please - here it is.

More fill dirt comes in this week. After that it's up to me to plant it and make it part of the site.

Major KUDOS to Bob Kellogg and crew! I think the wall is absolutely gorgeous. When you look at it closely you see the major fitting job that has been done. LOVE IT.





And, on the same day the wall was being finished, Sunday no less, the finish carpenters were up there working. That's a window sill held in the air. We are getting really close. I need to find out from George if we are still looking at mid-April so I can start planning the mid-May house warming!
