THE TERRACE

THE CREATION OF A FABULOUS ENTERTAINING SPACE....................

Six days ago, the Construction Crew started their magic.....

THE "BEFORE"





THE SET-UP




The first phase consisted of digging out the extended area, making forms, and pouring the concrete!










In three hours that was DONE!


Before we realized it, the work on the flagstones was beginning!!!!!!! ........




Each stone was chiseled until it fit just right in place.








PREPARING THE GROUT




WHAT A CLEVER MANNER TO APPLY GROUT... "PASTRY POUCHES"










THESE MEN ARE ARTISANS!!!

The precision of their work was fascinating to watch. The crew worked until almost dark...and were back the next morning to finish............

We are very happy with Brian Selleck, and his company.... A BOSS Construction LLC! Brian was prompt in answering all of our questions. His men were polite, prompt, and in addition to an unbelievable job................did outstanding CLEAN UP!!!

We HIGHLY recommend Brian to anyone in our area who is looking to do some hardscape work.

MC did his share .......he added the bed of straw to protect the terrace from being damaged by the landscaper's equipment.









PLENTY OF ROOM TO MOVE THE GRILL OUT FOUR FEET TO MEET HOA REQUIREMENTS


All the seating needs new cushions!!! Erica and Adam are coming to stay in the Epiphany Suite, this fall, when we will discuss the project. Hopefully, I can find some fabric this summer. I'm not sure what color ........I want it to blend with the gray-blue of the flagstone and compliment the house..... and it's interior. It's important to have your eye flow from inside to outside.....



ENTERTAINMENT AREA 99.9% COMPLETE

"WILL THAT BE WHITE OR RED?"



Coming Soon........

A personal "TRIP" through Erica and Adam's Doll House!

  4. Whoa!!! Totally different than I expected!!!

    I think a nice slate blue cushion would be nice
    AND
    ROMANTIC SHEER OUTDOOR CURTAINS!

    Would that pass the homeowners association???

  7. Dang. That's what I figured.

    I didn't know really what you meant be the flagstone pattern? It looks way better than what I was picturing!
