A week

Last weekend Kevin started some much needed & extreme shrub pruning.

This was all waiting to get burned after one day:

 I started sanding down some metal chairs I found:

 They are in the process of getting sanded & painted for the patio.
And Grandpa Ray came over to begin work on this lovely item:

This weekend Kevin has continued with his gonzo pruning, and I took a break (way too windy) from my sanding to rake & spread pine needles over some new flower beds we put in.
Grandpa Ray has continued on with his project.
A couple weather delays, and design tweaks and we now have this:

The boys are thrilled.
Can't wait to see what it looks like in a few more days.
