Update on Projects

Here's what's been happening at the ole "Rockin' G & B" for the past two weeks:

-Installed underground propane tank, along with electric and water lines for landscaping:
"Buddy inspecting the buried tank"

-Yay! No more plywood counter tops! We had our counter tops done last week. It took them 6 days to complete. It was quite an interesting process. After going back and forth between granite or poured concrete, we decided on the concrete with hand chiseled edges. Next, Gerald will be installing the natural stone back splash.

Below are before, during and after pictures. We changed out the stainless faucet to a black one.



-Dirt, crushed granite and trees delivered last week to continue with the landscaping project. Gerald and Rafa worked hard this past weekend digging holes, moving heavy rocks, etc. They planted five cedar elms and four live oaks.


Planting trees...

...and more trees.

I'm not quite sure who received the most abuse through all this...the tractor or Gerald. You be the judge...by the way, Gerald did not receive his boo boo from operating heavy equipment, moving big rocks or wrestling with the tractor. Oh no, he was too careful with all of that, it was from a sheet of plywood that slipped when he was moving it, ouch!

WARNING!
The following pictures may not be suitable for young children or the squeamish!
Look at them at your own risk! We are not responsible for vomiting!
Puncture wound to the tire...and broken bracket (on order)...see how Gerald repaired it temporarily with a chain? It didn't work too well. Also, the tractor was dead for one day...don't ask, that is a whole other story!

Gerald's boo boo...broken toe & bruised foot...yuck!

That's it for now...I have to go throw up...looking at that foot does it to me everytime. Seriously!
