Our 2014 BANI Parade of Homes Entry


Quickfire Hydrangea Glowing
This past week has been hectic and I hope profitable, as we wrapped up several projects and will be sending out invoices soon.  The large Missouri boulder outcropping and stone stairs on Lone Tree Point was one hydraulic line from completion last Friday as the excavator blew a hose.  We will finish Monday, Ryan has done a fabulous job of executing my vision and Eric has provided the steady hand on the mini while Scott has really developed his skills on this job.  Joe and Bruce worked the timber walls.  Dangerous but rewarding creating a masterpiece from a unforgiving slope.
It will be interesting to total the tons of stone slung on this hill, should know next week.  We will take a break from Lone Tree Point to finish up a job on Lake James.  The next part of this hill will be much easier, pavers on the seawall.
These guys don't have the luxury of a excavator to move a big rock but they do have our football playing rock toting Caleb, sorry to say he will be leaving for college soon.  This is the last phase of landscaping installation for these twin houses on Clear Lake.

This project in Angola is down to the greenery now, the hardscape is complete, Bill has a new partner Matt who is doing just fine, learning hardscape quickly.
Saws, saws, saws there is a terrific amount of activity to finish this model home in time for the BANI Parade of Homes  next week.  The house will be judged by other trades professionals on construction, landscaping and interior design, in addition to best overall house, keep your fingers crossed that we show well.   So far I am pretty satisfied with how it is looking.
The start of the dwarf rose of sharon hedge, I fertilized these shrubs hoping to push them into bloom by Parade time they are so close.  It took some looking but I found a spot for my antique soap holder turned flower pot under the window.
The lakeside is nearly finished, we will be getting some patio furniture and potted plants providing the extra color.

Once the outhouse is gone and the grass is green I think this will be a sweet walk to the basketball court all part of the Parade House outdoor living space.

Welcome into this big beautiful world Sophia Grace Eyester your daddy is one of my favorite young men.
