The excavation is done for our "studio patio." We'll use the old bricks around the house to make the paver patio, after adding some gravel and sand to the mix.
A patio cover will be added as well and this will become the kiln area. Then we'll be ready for some start to finish ceramics at Casa Magnolia.
As a part of this work comes the installation of the courtyard fountain as well.
The trench is done for the electrical, and a footing is ready to be poured.
We have the old fountain we bought that needs refinishing (what doesn't around here?).
Another four weeks and this should all look like something!
We spent some time yesterday at Embassy Suites taking pictures of their landscaping and it's time to start choosing some plantings.
On a side note, I read an article in the paper yesterday that stated houses with names have a higher resale value.
Hey, our house has a name, we call it "Magnolia House." Cynthia is toying with a change to "Casa Magnolia."
We'll see which one sticks... Not planning on selling anytime soon....
