Sunsational





This is the first wall that Mike has built and he is quite proud of himself. It was another one of those tough to get at sites, I missed the fun when they were hauling the boulders up the hill, they were not a good fit with the new stacked glacial wall. The thing about rocks is getting the right sizes and it seems the ones the customers have are the ones they don't want and the ones they want we have to haul in. Up the hill, down the hill.

The ivy covered wall nestles this beautiful iron sun sculpture, think I might send this photo to CBS Sunday morning they feature peoples sun photos as their logo. That is my Sunday morning ritual and one of the few television shows I claim as one of my programs, a very comforting beginning to the day although I wish it started earlier.

At our end of year company breakfast this morning we began a discussion of the years favorite jobs and Bill mentioned a job on Coldwater Lake which Bruce designed and sold and one I had not even seen. I went there today and shot these pictures of the stone walls and snap cut staircases, it is a pretty job and very functional, crushed stone provides the walking surface between the stair treads.
