The retaining walls are up and can now be back-filled with soil. The bubbling rock is installed and working but I feel the water flow is not strong enough so I’m picking up a Binford 3000 pump this afternoon (old Tim Allen – Home Improvement joke) I’m still waiting on the electrician to install the hydro outlets outside. Feel free to keep checking the photo album for up to the minute pictures.
I must say that “I am bubbling over with excitement” over all of this. I checked in this morning to see the update and again at noon. Tom you will be able to sit at the fire pit and ponder soon. Have fun tonight watching the total eclipse of the sun. (Wasn’t that a song?) PS: I like your new letter head, very appropriate!
Dear Tom and Martha,

I’ve just treated myself to the slideshow. What designers you are. Everything looks beautiful.
Designers…
You must have us confused with another couple. All the original design work was done by our landscaper. All we have to do is come up with a way to pay for it.
