Friday September 3th. Labor Day weekend, and we're going to try and finish the beach area.
We started with the upper retaining wall.
|
| We'd build the panels, and tie them together. |  |
 |
A bit of backfill to keep them in place and we're almost done. |
| Saturday morning, now we're ready to start the beach stairs. |  |
 |
These will lead to the dock and the sand beach we made. |
| We're done. It took a full day to get the steps and paver patio finished. |  |
 |
A view from the pontoon boat after a hard days work. |
| Sunday, we're slowly marhing up the hill with the steps. |  |
 |
Digging for another little paver patio slows us down a bit. |
| There is a lot of material to move, and the weather is turning bad. |  |
 |
Bah, it's raining and cold! Let's call it a day. |
|
Monday, Happy Labor Day!
The little patio is done, and we're ready to start up the hill again. |
 |
 |
Some complicated angle walkways to tie into the well pit and we can wrap this project up! |
| A beach view of the completed beach stairs. There is a bit more work to do on the first patio. |  |
 |
A bottom up view of the whole project. |
| Sweet, now we just need to grade the rest of the yard, and get some grass growing! |  |
 |
September 25th. Another weekend working in the yard. This is a picture of the 26th, it sprinkled ALL day on Saturday YUCH!
We need to finish up the rocks before we can do the final grade |
| We're getting there, still a lot of rocks and dirt to move before we can go home. |  |
 |
We're cleaning up the yard as we go, burning all of the scrap. |
| Some left over Hostas get planted. We have plenty more where those came from! |  |
 |
The beach steps get some final touches. |
| Final grade is done! Mom is spreading the grass seed. |  |
 |
I sure hope the grass grows soon. |
|
Lets work on the grade in the back yard a bit.
While we're on the dozer, let's grade the driveway too! |
 |
 |
Saturday, October 2nd. We're back!
It's a cold and windy day, and we're building a little deck as a side porch. |
| Just a bit of blocking, and we're ready to nail the decking down. |  |
 |
Done! We're using that sheet of plywood to block the howling winds. |
|
A picture from the lake, we decided to pull the pontoon boat for the year.
The top caps for the retaining walls are ready for tomorrow |
 |
 |
One more step to bring the grade up to the new porch. |
| It's swept out a bit to keep the area stable. |  |
 |
We used some leftover flag stones from our other cottage project |
| Now it's time for those pesky top caps |  |
 |
They are a pain, each one needs to be cut to fit the wall angle |
|
They sure finish off the top.
It's 5:00 on Sunday, we're outta here! |
